weird trivia

With all due respect, I don’t know about that one. Here’s the lyrics, you decide:

"Lovin’ you is easy cause you’re beautiful
Makin’ love with you is all I wanna do
Lovin’ you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that I do is out of lovin’ you

No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime

Cause lovin’ you has made my life so beautiful
And every day of my life is filled with lovin’ you
Lovin’ you I see your soul come shinin’ through
And every time that we oooooh
I’m more in love with you"

Here’s some trivia on your “trivia” trivia:

Possibly that is being conflated with the same time frame’s “Isn’t She Lovely” by Stevie Wonder, which is about the birth of his daughter, and includes baby crying sounds (that might have actually been his daughter, but I don’t know that for sure).

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman in the Bucket List - One of the times they are playing cards, Jack says, “Who are you? The Devil?”…
