Cant Take My Eyes Off You
Andy Williams & Denise Van Outen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I want to 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
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 it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you, baby, and if it's quite alright
I need you, baby, to warm the 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
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I want to 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 alright
I need you baby to warm the 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
Oh, pretty baby, trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby

The lyrics suggest the intensity of the singer's feelings, likening the object of their attention to heaven and expressing a desire to hold them close.

The singer implores the person to confirm that their feelings are mutual, highlighting how infatuated they are. The song ends with the singer asking the person to return their love.

Sad Andy Willams died on Sept. 25, 2012 at 84 from cancer. And when he sang this song solo in 1967 it was a legend when he was 40 years old.
