Nina Simone
The Look Of Love (Madison Park vs. Lenny B Remix) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A look your smile can't disguise
The look of love is saying so much more
Than these words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold 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, 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 hold you now
That I have found you don't ever go
I love you so
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
The lyrics of "The Look Of Love" by Nina Simone are about the intense feeling of love that the singer is feeling for their lover. This is expressed through the "look of love" that can be seen in their lover's eyes, which speaks volumes about how they really feel. This profound connection between the two is so powerful that words alone are not enough to describe it. The singer cannot wait to hold their lover, and finally love them as they have always wanted to. Although they have been waiting for what seems like an eternity, they have finally found each other, and they don't want to let go. The song ends with the singer expressing their fear of losing their lover and begging them not to go.
The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and passion, which is further amplified by Nina Simone's soulful voice. She effortlessly communicates the depth of the emotion that the singer is feeling, making the listener empathize with their journey. This is what makes the song so timeless, as it captures the essence of love in a way that is relatable to everyone who has ever been in love.

Going through a rough ROUGH break up and my fucking god does this song make me cry like no other. Wishing strength and healing towards anyone going through it rn and hopefully future me can see this comment some day and realize I made it out the other side
@barbsmyers
I wish you strength. Shower yourself with love, respect and self-appreciation and move from that space, always. All experiences belong to our human lives, embrace them and build yourself more loving, more patient and more joyous than ever before. It is possible! xxx
@ssgoku411

@barbsmyers
I am glad to hear that you are @@ssgoku411 , its a process as you know. It took me years to find myself after a rough stuff like that...but it turned out to be a blessing at the end. It gave me much opportunity for growth. You must find a way to profit out of difficult times! That is one of the biggest takeaways EVER. I remind myself daily that difficulties offer room for growth and resilience! :) That's a powerful place to be, don't you all think? xxx
