Funny Face
Audrey Hepburn & Fred Astaire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love your funny face
Your sunny, funny face
For you're a cutie
With more than beauty
You've got a lot of personality N.T.

Your thousand laughs I found
In having you around
Though you're no Shirley Temple
For worlds I'd not replace
Your sunny, funny face

It's oh so very clear
I'm glad when you are near
No angel child from Heaven
Could ever take your place




I love that sunny, that's sweeter than honey
Sunny, funny face

Frankly dear, your modesty reveals to me
Self-appraisal often makes me sad
And if I add, your funny face appeals to me
Please don't think I've suddenly gone mad

You've got all the qualities of Peter Pan
I'd look far before I'd find a sweeter pan

I love your funny face
Your sunny, funny face
Though you're a cutie with more than beauty
You've got a lot of personality for me

You fill the air with smiles
For miles and miles and miles
Though you're no Mona Lisa
For world's I'd not replace
Your sunny, funny face

I love your funny face
Your sunny, funny face
You're not exotic but so hypnotic
You're much, too much
If you can cook the way you look

I'd swim the ocean wide
Just to have you by my side
Though you're no Queen of Sheba
For world's I'd not replace
Your sunny, funny face

saw this movie at Radio City Music Hall in 1958 My husband who passed away two years ago would sing and call me his funny face. We used to dance together a lot, helped in the hard times. Miss my love so much
