The Way You Look Tonight
Michael Bublé Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.

You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

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.

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, tonight.

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
At some point in the future, when I am feeling extremely depressed,


When the world is cold,
During a time when the environment around me is inhospitable and unkind,

Just the thought of you will bring warmth and positivity into my life,


And the way you look tonight.
It is your appearance alone that evokes these positive feelings in me.


You're lovely, with your smile so warm
