Full Lyrics
Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderful
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely, made from love
Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
Through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely, made from love
Isn't she lovely
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That's so very lovely, made from love, hey
About This Song
"Isn't She Lovely" was written and performed by Stevie Wonder for his landmark 1976 double album Songs in the Key of Life. The song was written to celebrate the birth of his daughter, Aisha Morris.
The recording famously features the actual sounds of baby Aisha cooing and crying, captured in the studio. Despite never being released as a single in the US, it became one of Stevie Wonder's most beloved songs worldwide.
The joyful harmonica intro and upbeat melody make this song a celebration of new life and parental love. Many parents have adopted it as a special song to sing to their own children, making it a modern classic lullaby.
