Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please, let me know that is real
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
I love you, baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you, baby
To warm a lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you, baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you, baby
To warm a lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you

I'm 12 years old and I'm in love with jazz songs tbh. This song is totally my style. Idk why but songs like these (old songs) that are slow and chill with a vibe makes me feel at ease and I can imagine so much things without even trying. Good work, Mr. Andy 😊
