Dusty Springfield / Catch Me If You Can Soundtrack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is in your eyes
The look your heart
Can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well, it takes my breath away
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
Be mine, tonight
Let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let's take a lovers vow and then seal it with a kiss
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
Don't ever go
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
Don't ever go, don't ever go
I love you so
The Look Of Love, by Dusty Springfield, is a timeless song about the power of love and how it can be conveyed through facial expressions alone. The song begins with the singer stating that she can see the look of love in the eyes of her significant other. This look is so powerful that it speaks more than any words could ever convey and it takes her breath away. She then goes on to express her longing to hold her lover, as well as her fear of losing them. She implores them not to go.
The lyrics of the song depict the overwhelming feeling of being in love and how it can take over a person completely. The singer describes the feeling of finally finding the person she has been waiting for and the joy of being able to hold them. The message is one of hope that the love between the two will endure and they will be able to build a life together.
Interestingly, the song was originally written for the James Bond film Casino Royale in 1967, but was not used in the final cut of the movie. The song was later released by Dusty Springfield as a standalone single and became a huge hit, reaching number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. A remix of the song was also used in the 1997 film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.

It's the extraordinary original song, sung by Dusty Springfield. This version is the best one, definitly!
John Speer
I agree. This version is softer and very dreamy with more reverb than the original studio version. That makes it more romantic and memorable, to my ear, capturing a gorgeous and deep sentiment. Top 10 on my list of best songs for romance.
