J.R. Aquino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.
Lovely, never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
Mm, mm, mm, mm,
Just the way you look tonight

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
At some point in the future, when I am feeling really down and discouraged,
When the world is cold,
When everything around me feels bleak and unfeeling,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
I will experience a warm, comforting feeling just from the mere thought of you,
And the way you look tonight.
Especially when I remember how beautiful you are in this moment.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
You have an incredibly attractive and welcoming smile,
And your cheeks so soft,
Your cheeks are so smooth and tender,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
I cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of love towards you,
And the way you look tonight.
Especially in this moment when you look so stunning.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Every time you speak, your affection and kindness toward me intensifies,
Tearing my fear apart
It dispels all the anxiety and apprehension I am feeling,
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
The way you laugh so freely and unconsciously that it causes wrinkles on your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.
Has a profound and deep effect on my own heart and emotions.
Lovely, never, ever change.
You are incredibly beautiful and amazing, and I never want anything about you to be different,
Keep that breathless charm.
Please hold on to that charm and aura of excitement that takes my breath away,
Won't you please arrange it?
Could you possibly make sure that nothing ever changes so that I can always feel this way about you,
Cause I love you
I am deeply in love with you,
Just the way you look tonight.
Just as you are in this moment, gorgeous and captivating.
