Brasil '66 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is in your eyes
A look your smile can't
disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more than
Just words could every say
Well it takes my breath away
[Chorus]
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Baby be mine, tonight
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lovers vow
And seal it with a kiss
[Chorus]
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
The look of love
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And baby we'll seal it with a kiss
[Chorus]
"The Look of Love" by Brasil '66 is a song that is all about the power of nonverbal communication. The first verse talks about how love is reflected in a person's eyes, and how this look can't be hidden by a smile. The second verse emphasizes the idea that the look of love is more powerful than any spoken words, and that it can take one's breath away. The chorus expresses the singer's anticipation of holding and loving the person they're singing to, and how long they've been waiting for this moment. The final verse is about sealing their love with a kiss and making a vow to love each other forever.
What's interesting about "The Look of Love" is that it was written by the famous songwriting duo Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The song was originally featured in the 1967 James Bond parody film "Casino Royale," which was also the film debut of the character of James Bond. The song was interpreted by Dusty Springfield for the film, and became a hit in the UK charts. Later, the Brazilian group Brasil '66 recorded their own version of the song, which also became a big hit in the US.
