Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is in your eyes
A look your smile can't
disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more than
Just words could every say
Well it takes my breath away
[Chorus]
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Baby be mine, tonight
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lovers vow
And seal it with a kiss
[Chorus]
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
The look of love
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And baby we'll seal it with a kiss
[Chorus]

Lyrics:
The look of love is in your eyes
A look that time can’t disguise
The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You’ve got the look of love
It’s on your face
A look that time can’t erase
Be mine, tonight
Now let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let’s take a lover’s vow
And then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don’t ever go (don’t ever go)
Don’t ever go (don’t ever go)
Don’t ever go (don’t ever go)
Don’t ever go (don’t ever go)

Don’t ever go (don’t ever go)
Don’t ever go (don’t ever go)
Don’t ever go (don’t ever go)

RIP Bacharach. I guess I'll be living through the death of all the greats.

Lani Hall ------------what a voice ------& that Bossa Nova beat .
@johndipinto8816
Actually on this song Janis Hansen is doing the solo lead parts. Ironically, by the time this was a radio hit she was no longer in the group - Mendes had replaced everyone but Lani Hall.
@joboots007
This number took off after the band’s performance on the Oscars ceremony that April!!!!!

Especially since pretty much everything I listened to back then, was fron a cigarette pack sized hand held 9v radio! Half of my allowance was dedicated to those little rectangular batteries every week. Ahhhhh, the 1960's; an incredible time to grow up!
