Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When my years grow old
And the world gets cold
I will feel the glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
You just look lovely
With your smile so warm
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look right now
In every single word you said
Your tenderness shows
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh, the way it wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart
Lovely
Never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
And that laugh
The way it wrinkles your nose, it just
Touches and pleases my foolish heart
I said, lovely
Don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
You're just fine, don't change
Stay the way you look tonight
Just the way you look
Tonight

One day
At some point in the future
When my years grow old
As I age
And the world gets cold
And circumstances become difficult
I will feel the glow just thinking of you
I will experience warmth and happiness by merely thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
And the captivating appearance you have at this moment
You just look lovely
You appear incredibly beautiful
With your smile so warm
With a smile that exudes warmth
And your cheeks so soft
And having soft cheeks
There is nothing for me but to love you
I cannot help but feel love for you
And the way you look right now
And the way you appear in this very moment
In every single word you said
Through every word you have spoken
Your tenderness shows
Your affection and gentleness are evident
Tearing my fears apart
Dispelling my fears completely
And that laugh, the way it wrinkles your nose
And your laugh, which causes your nose to wrinkle
It touches my foolish heart
It deeply moves my naive heart
Lovely
Delightful and charming
Never, never change
Remain forever the same
Keep that breathless charm
Retain that enchanting allure
Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you
Could you please maintain it? Because I adore you
Just the way you look tonight
Exactly as you appear in this evening
And that laugh
Additionally, your laughter
The way it wrinkles your nose
The manner in which it causes your nose to crease
It just touches and pleases my foolish heart
It simply affects and brings joy to my naive heart
I said, lovely
I stated, my dear
Don't you ever change
Please never alter
Keep that breathless charm
Retain that captivating enchantment
Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you
Could you please maintain it? Because I love you
Just the way you look tonight
Exactly as you appear in this evening
You're just fine, don't change
You are perfect, do not change
Stay the way you look tonight
Retain your current appearance
Just the way you look
Exactly as you appear
Tonight
In this evening
