Lady, when you’re with me I’m smiling
Give me all your love
Your hands build me up when I’m sinking
Touch me and my troubles all fade
Lady, from the moment I saw you
Standing all alone
You gave all the love that I needed
So shy, like a child who has grown

‘Cause you’re my lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You’re my lady

Lady, turns me on when I’m lonely
Give me all your charm
Evenings when she lays down beside me
She takes me gently into her arms

Lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You’re my lady

Lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You’re my … lady

About Lyrics and Lady by Styx

When you decide to study the lyrics to Lady, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1973 song by Styx. Some of the lyrics to Lady have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Styx and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Lady if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Lady" means the words set to the music of Lady, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Styx. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Lady and the lyrics to Lady are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Styx who came here looking just for the lyrics to Lady, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
