Tonight
Evan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I remember the first time I showed up at your door
The way that you were smiling and that summer dress you wore
I would've said it right then if my tongue wasn't tied
You look beautiful tonight, mm

Sometime after midnight, we were closing that bar down
You lit up like a scoreboard talking about your hometown
I didn't wanna interrupt ya, I couldn't help it at the time
I said you look beautiful tonight

Every time you smile
Every word you speak
It's a work of art
Just to watch you be
Just the way you are
You don't have to try
Darlin' you look beautiful tonight

Moving into that apartment, up one flight to 203
You were fighting with the boxes in a T-shirt and bare feet
I stopped you in the kitchen and you thought I was lying
When I said you look beautiful tonight

Every time you smile
Every word you speak
It's a work of art
Just to watch you be
Just the way you are
You don't have to try
Darlin' you look beautiful tonight

Ooh, there'll never be a day that it ain't true
Still all that I can think right here with you
You're so beautiful
Every time you smile
Every word you speak
It's a work of art
Just to watch you be
Just the way you are
You don't have to try
Darlin' you look beautiful, mm




Darlin' you look beautiful tonight, yeah
You look beautiful tonight, mm
