Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Andy Williams feat. Denise van Outen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're just too good to be true
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 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 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 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

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.

Denise Van Outen is an amazing performer, so lovely and talented-yes this is cheesy but was such fun to watch and the voices and harmonies were so amazing together!! And I'm now an Andy Williams fan too, another amazing talent.
