Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Oh, but you're lovely
With your smile so warm, and your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that smile that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Sweetheart, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it, 'cause I love you
And the way you look tonight
Oh, but you're lovely
With your smile so warm, and your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight
Just the way you look tonight

Someday, when I'm awfully low
At some point in the future, when I am feeling extremely down
And the world is cold
And the environment around me feels uninviting and heartless
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
I will experience a radiant warmth simply by thoughts of you
And the way you look tonight
And the captivating image of you in the present moment
Oh, but you're lovely
Oh, but you are incredibly beautiful
With your smile so warm, and your cheek so soft
With your genuinely affectionate smile and your tenderly gentle cheek
There is nothing for me but to love you
I am left with no choice but to adore you completely
Just the way you look tonight
Precisely in the manner that you present yourself this evening
With each word your tenderness grows
Through every word uttered, your kindness and affection intensify
Tearing my fear apart
Causing my fears to disintegrate and be vanquished
And that smile that wrinkles your nose
And that smile which results in delightful wrinkles on your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Touches and affects my naive and vulnerable heart
Sweetheart, never, never change
Dearest, please never alter or transform yourself
Keep that breathless charm
Maintain that captivating and awe-inspiring allure
Won't you please arrange it, 'cause I love you
Would you kindly ensure it stays this way, because I love you deeply
And the way you look tonight
And the enchanting appearance you possess at this very moment
Oh, but you're lovely
Oh, but you are incredibly beautiful
With your smile so warm, and your cheek so soft
With your genuinely affectionate smile and your tenderly gentle cheek
There is nothing for me but to love you
I am left with no choice but to adore you completely
Just the way you look tonight
Precisely in the manner that you present yourself this evening
