The Look Of Love
Fergie; Sergio Mendes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is in your eyes
A look that time 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
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 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 (don't ever go)
Don't ever go (don't ever go)
(Don't ever go, don't ever go, don't ever go, don't ever go, don't ever go)
In Sergio Mendes's song "The Look of Love", the singer expresses their admiration for a potential lover. The lyrics describe the intense emotions that the singer is experiencing when they look at this person - their eyes convey a love that is pure and true, and it takes the singer's breath away. This love is so profound that the singer can't wait to hold and embrace their lover. They take the opportunity to vow their love to this person and yearn for more nights like this one.
The Look of Love is an iconic song that has been covered and sampled countless times since its release in 1967. The song was originally written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the James Bond spoof film "Casino Royale". However, the song's popularity only skyrocketed after it was included on Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66's album "Fool on the Hill" in the same year. The Brazilian band's rendition of the classic tune quickly became one of their biggest hits and brought them international fame.
