The Way You Look Tonight
Jaguars 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 to-night.

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
There might come a day when I am extremely sad,
When the world is cold,
When the rest of the world seems unfeeling and uncaring,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
The thought of you will bring warmth and happiness to my heart,
And the way you look tonight.
Especially the way you appear tonight.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
You are absolutely gorgeous with your welcoming and warm smile
And your cheeks so soft,
Not to mention your soft and gentle cheeks
There is nothing for me but to love you,
I cannot help but love you
And the way you look tonight.
Especially the way you appear tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Every time you speak, your kindness and compassion seems to increase
Tearing my fears apart...
It feels as though you are breaking down all of my doubts and worries
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Even the way you giggle and wrinkle your nose is adorable
It touches my foolish heart.
It warms my heart in a way that seems almost foolish
Lovely ... Never, ever change.
You are perfect just the way you are, please never change
Keep that breathless charm.
Stay just as captivating as you are, leaving people breathless
Won't you please arrange it?
Please, can you continue to captivate me
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.
Because I love you just the way you are appearing tonight
Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Humming of approval to signify joy and affection
Just the way you look to-night.
Only tonight and exactly how you look now
