Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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]
The Look of Love is a song by Gladys Knight & the Pips that describes love at first sight. The lyrics explain how the look in someone's eyes can speak volumes beyond what words could express. The song praises the beauty of love, expressing how it can take one's breath away. The chorus focuses on the intensity of the love that the singer feels for the person they are addressing. It conveys the longing and desire for that person and an eagerness to hold them in their arms.
The second verse suggests that the singer and the person they are singing to have just started a relationship, and the singer is hopeful that it will turn into something great. The imagery of sealing the relationship with a kiss symbolizes a promise of love and commitment. The final chorus ends with a plea to the person to stay as the singer has fallen in love with them, and they do not want to lose them.

Loved Gladys knight singing this since hearing it in the 70s, no better version than this, pure soul at its very best. Music today is rubbish compared to this thank you to the great music of the 70s today's artists should learn from this if they want true music hits, that stand the test of time!

I once sang this to the boy I loved. I was 16, he 17. I loved him more than life..turned out he didn't feel the same. The tune is still fantastic. He wasn't 😊
