Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will feel a glow just thinking of you and the way you look tonight
Oh but, you're lovely with your cheeks so soft and your lips so warm
There is nothing for me but to love you, just the way you look tonight
With each word, your tenderness grows, tearing my fears apart
And that laugh, that wrinkles your nose, touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never, never change keep that breathless charm
Lovely, never, never change keep that breathless charm
Won't you please, arrange it 'cause I love you just the way you look tonight
Just the way you look tonight
