The Look Of Love
Terry Smith 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]

Overall Meaning

The Look of Love is a song by Terry Smith that speaks about the profound feelings that come with love. The opening line, "The look of love is in your eyes," suggests that the person being addressed by the singer is visibly enamoured with them. The love between them is so strong that their eyes convey a feeling that words alone cannot express. The chorus suggests that the singer is excited to hold the person and have them in their arms. The second verse reinforces this when the singer suggests that the lover's vow should be sealed with a kiss. The bridge line of "don't ever go" confirms the depth of the singer's feelings, and that there will never be another person for them.
