Ed Sheeran has unveiled the video for his latest smash hit and it’s just as precious as the song itself.

‘Perfect’ is the singer’s sweet ode to his first love that is dominating the charts currently and its wintery visual is sure to only make it more of a festive staple.

View the lyrics
I found a love for me
Oh darling, just dive right in and follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight

Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own

We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight

The video - directed by Jason Koeing - brings the song to life, as we see Ed go on a good old-fashioned ski trip to a log cabin with a group of friends… and the love of his life.

Zoey Deutch acts opposite the superstar as his love interest and we watch as they coyly flirt until they realise their love for one another and slow dance in the snow together.

Seriously, Ed?! This is too much to handle on a Thursday morning.

‘Perfect’ is the fourth single to be released from the singer’s ridiculously successful ÷ album and we think it could be his next number one single.

So far, it has peaked at Number 4 on the UK Singles Chart without the video so now we expect to watch it climb even higher.

This year’s Christmas number one? Watch out...

The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go (Mm, mm)
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast, and then we talk slow (Mm, mm)
You come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me, I'll give it a chance now (Mm, mm)
Take my hand, stop
Put "Van the Man" on the jukebox
And then we start to dance
And now I'm singing like

Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say "Boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me"
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead
(Mm, mm)

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bed sheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
Oh, I'm in love with your body

Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I
Oh, I'm in love with your body
Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I
Oh, I'm in love with your body
Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I
Oh, I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you

One week in we let the story begin
We're going out on our first date (Mm, mm)
But you and me are thrifty
So go all-you-can-eat
Fill up your bag, and I fill up a plate (Mm, mm)

We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
And how your family is doing okay (Mm, mm)
And leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the back seat
Tell the driver make the radio play
And I'm singing like

Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say "Boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me"
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead
(Mm, mm)

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bed sheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
Oh, I'm in love with your body

Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I
Oh, I'm in love with your body
Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I
Oh, I'm in love with your body
Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I
Oh, I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you

Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bed sheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
Oh, I'm in love with your body

Come on, be my baby, come on
(Come on, be my baby, come on) I'm in love with your body
Come on, be my baby, come on
(Come on, be my baby, come on) Oh, I'm in love with your body
Come on, be my baby, come on
(Come on, be my baby, come on) I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you
