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

    General Comment:What I think many people miss about this song is the fact that Stevie Wonder is blind, so there is a version of this song that includes audio clips of his interactions with her like her crying, and taking a bath. He's giving us a glimpse of how he "sees" his daughter.

    This song tears me up as I have a little girl of my own and she is my world.

    My Opinion:awesome father to make a song for his daughter...not knowing it was going to become an american classic.

    General Comment:Beautiful song. It sounds so simple, whenever I heard it, I thought, nice, another love song. Just this last week I listened very closely (having bought the album finally) and heard babysounds and payed attention to the lyrics. Very moving.

    General Comment:I was racking my brain trying to think of a song that would be appropriate for a father/daughter dance at my wedding, and then I remembered hearing Stevie Wonder had written this for his daughter. I think this might be the song we use for the dance, it's a really nice song.

    General Comment:For those who don't know, this song was written for Wonder's daughter Aisha. I know it's about a child, but it could just as easily be dedicated to a lover or any other great lady you know!

    This song is so upbeat, with great vocals by Stevie, and I always feel happy whenever I hear it. Sometimes, my bf will joke, "It's your song!" But what I really wish is for someone, a lover or anyone, to sing it to me. I wish my dad had written something like this for me when I was little! Aisha, I am so jealous!

    General Comment:Compuwiz19: you are amazing.

    Bravo to Stevie. The line "Truly the angel's best" strikes me for some odd reason. Phenomenal song.
