The Way You Look Tonight
Mel Torme & George Shearing Lyrics

Someday, when I'm awfully low
In the future, when I am deeply sad

And the world is cold
And the surroundings are unfriendly

I will feel a glow just thinking of you
Your mere thought will give me warmth

And the way you look tonight
Remembering your appearance in this moment

Yes, you're lovely
Indubitably, you are captivating

With your smile so warm, and your cheek so soft
Your warm smile and soft cheek are enchanting

There is nothing for me but to love you
I am completely overcome by love for you

Just the way you look tonight
Just by appearing like this at the present moment

With each word your tenderness grows
On every utterance of yours, my love for you intensifies

Tearing my fear apart
Crushing and erasing all of my anxieties

And that smile that wrinkles your nose
And your smile, so genuine that it even crinkles your nose

Touches my foolish heart
Touches and deeply affects my silly heart

Lovely, never, never change
You are perfect, never alter yourself

Keep that breathless charm
Maintain that charm that takes my breath away

Won't you please arrange it, 'cause I love you
Please preserve it, since I am madly in love with you

Just the way you look tonight
Simply the way you look at this very moment
