The Look of Love
Steve Tyrell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can disguise
The look of love is saying
So much more than words could ever say
And what my heart is filled with it takes my breath away

You've got the look of love
Its on your face, a look that I cant erase
Be nine tonight let this be just the start of
So many nights just like this
Lets take a lovers vow and seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you feel my arms around you
How long that I have waited, waited to just love you
Now that I have found you, don't ever go

Wont you be mine tonight let this be just a start of
So many nights like this
Lets take a lovers vow and seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you feel my arms around you
How long that I have waited, waited to just love you
Now that I have found you, don't ever go
Don't ever go

I see that look, its on your face




Don't ever go, stay awhile
Stay awhile, stay awhile
