Steve Tyrell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of Steve Tyrell's song "The Look of Love" describe the intense emotions of falling in love. The opening lines describe the look of love in the eyes of the person he is singing to, and how her smile can conceal it. The look of love is more than just words, it is a feeling that fills his heart and takes his breath away. The second verse describes the desire to make this love last and be together for so many nights. Tyrell talks about wanting to hold her in his arms and how long he has waited to finally love her. He pleads with her not to ever leave him and asks her to stay a while.
The lyrics capture the heady rush of emotions that come with falling in love. The feelings of longing, desire, and the fear of losing the one you love are all intertwined. The song is beautifully written and captures the romantic spirit of the 60s, a time when love was often expressed through music.
