Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.
Lovely, never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
Mm, mm, mm, mm,
Just the way you look tonight

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
At some point in the future, when I feel incredibly down and distressed,
When the world is cold,
When everything around me feels unwelcoming and unkind,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
I will experience a warm and radiant feeling simply by contemplating about you
And the way you look tonight.
And the appearance you possess in this very moment.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
Indeed, you are delightful, with a smile that exudes warmth and positivity
And your cheeks so soft,
And your cheeks that are incredibly velvety and gentle
There is nothing for me but to love you,
There is no other option for me but to adore you
And the way you look tonight.
And the way you physically appear in the present moment.
With each word your tenderness grows,
As you speak, your tenderness and affection intensify
Tearing my fear apart
Ripping apart my fears and worries
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
And that laughter that causes delightful wrinkles to form on your nose
It touches my foolish heart.
It deeply affects my naive and vulnerable heart
Lovely, never, ever change.
Darling, please never alter or transform yourself in any way
Keep that breathless charm.
Preserve that enchanting and captivating persona that leaves me breathless
Won't you please arrange it?
Would you kindly ensure to maintain it?
Cause I love you
Because I am genuinely infatuated with you
Just the way you look tonight.
Exactly as you appear at this very moment.
Mm, mm, mm, mm,
Mm, mm, mm, mm
Just the way you look tonight
Exactly as you physically present yourself during this evening
