The Look of Love
Chris Botti feat. Sy Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The look of love
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
And what my heart has heard
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]

Sy Smith's voice is brilliant, sensational, and breathtaking. No one can compare with her interpretation for this song "The look of Love", especially at the very beginning. I heard it on PBS in 2011. In 2024, I am still overwhelmed by it.

@manleyhall5368

Chris really presents a great performance, both the vocalists, band members, especially including Mark. Chris makes his trumpet talk as though it is another vocalist. Truly sensational!

@Bruingebak

Isn't she lovely? Isn't she beautiful? Isn't she musically talented? What an awesome performance!

@KutWrite

Yeah... I'd love to hear her with Stevie Wonder.
