Lyrics:
Yeah...
Tell me how long (how long)
Were we together, before we got together, oh...
Tell me how strong (how strong)
Have we gone together, since we've been together, oh...
See, I don't care what people say
No one else has ever made me feel the way you do
Think about it, it just make sense
We already know everything about us, oh...
Chorus:
Girl, I'll be right here by your side (By your side)
Give you all the love I've got to give
I'm swimming in your eyes
Love will blow out all the lights (All the lights)
And I will keep you satisfied through the night
See, I've been watching you (watching you)
It's like I can read your mind
You don't have to say a word, oh...
Keep your thoughts right here
Let go all your fears
Just let em go, just let em go, oh...
Pull you close to me, you feel so nice
We'll stay up sipping on red red wine (Red red wine)
The red stays on your lips my baby
I'll clean them off with my lips, my baby, oh...
Repeat chorus
(By your side) Right by your side
(In your eyes) All through the night
(All the lights)
(Through the night) So close to me
Right by your side
All through the night, yeah
Oh...

This song is a cross between a love ballad and a tropical island / light beat. The lyrics could have been placed with different music and could have been as effective, but the chosen melody and music keep a 'love makes the heart light' feeling.
Lyrically, the words are simple but strung together nicely. They fit the theme of the song. "Red red wine" (like the song by the same name) fits with the tropical beat.
Musically, JC explores a different texture. The beat is simple, and doesn't crowd the melody or the singer.
Grade (on a 5-point scale):
Lyrics: 3.5
