The Look Of Love
Sergio Mendes Brasil '66 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The look of love
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
And what my heart has heard
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]

Sergio is one of the musicians from the 60' who played world hits. To this day they are played on the radio. Think about it, that's more than 50 years. Sergio you are the best.

Timeless tunes!

Lani Hall's incredible voice simply 'ties my guts in a knot!' every time I hear her...and Janice Hansen was 'drop-dead gorgeous!' Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 was beyond any comparison. I can listen to it every minute, of every day. Their music wraps around you, and penetrates all of your senses...not 'just music', it's pure 'emotion'.
