Isaac Hayes - Wonderful


Isaac Hayes - Wonderful

Isaac Lee Hayes, Jr. (August 20, 1942 – August 10, 2008) was an American songwriter, musician, singer, actor, and voice actor. Hayes was one of the creative influences behind the southern soul music label Stax Records, where he served both as an in-house songwriter and as a record producer, teaming with his partner David Porter during the mid-1960s. Hayes, Porter, Bill Withers, the Sherman Brothers, Steve Cropper, and John Fogerty were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005 in recognition of writing scores of notable songs for themselves, the duo Sam & Dave, Carla Thomas, and others.

The hit song "Soul Man", written by Hayes and Porter and first performed by "Sam & Dave", has been recognized as one of the most influential songs of the past 50 years by the Grammy Hall of Fame. It was also honored by The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, by Rolling Stone magazine, and by the RIAA as one of the Songs of the Century.


It's wonderful to be in love with you
It's so nice to know that you love me too

It seems like heaven is smiling at me
The first time I saw your face
This hunger started growing in me
And those lips of yours, I just had to taste

Now that was the birth of our love affair
And since then it's grown a thousand times
You're the sweetest thing that love can bring
And I'm so glad that you're mine

And it's wonderful to be in love with you, oh, yes it is
It's so nice to know that you love me too

No one in this world is perfect
But you're the closest to perfection as one can be
You are my inspiration
You're the other half that makes the whole of me

Compliments to you from all the people who know
Is how you brighten up my world
And you keep it bright, every day and night
You are just quite a girl

It's wonderful to be in love with you, oh, yes, it is, yes, it is
It's so nice to know that you love me too

Baby, ooh baby, I wouldn't leave you if I could
Mama, ooh mama, your love is so doggone good, so good
And everyday is gonna be that way
Just as long as I'm your man

It's wonderful to be in love with you, yes it is
I said that it's so nice to know that you love me too
