The Look of Love
The Springfields Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your heart
Can't disguise

The look of love
Is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well, it takes my breath away

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
Be mine, tonight
Let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let's take a lovers 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 love you
Now that I have found you

Don't ever go

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

Don't ever go, don't ever go





I love you so

Perfect voice. And for the perfect look,

THIS SONG is so meaningful to so many people, in so many ways.
For me, I just turned 63 years old a few days ago.
Seems as if I only blinked my eyes two or maybe three times, & here I am.
Sadly, my arms are empty.
My first love passed away in January. That shattered my heart.
We never married, I moved to the west coast, & he told me a few years later, "If you loved me, WHY did you move away?" I never thought of that when I was was in school, etc. I assumed he went his way, then, I went my way.
He was dating many different girls, so, yeah, I assumed..... Both of our lives definitely went very different ways. Married to other people, having children, etc.
There's a handful of songs 🎵 that really eat away at my heartstrings. I really miss what was, as well as what could have been. 💔
NEVER assume anything about people or love.
Be certain to always do a complete 'inspection' of everything in your current situation, as well as any lingering thoughts about love & relationships.

Signed;
A very lonely southern Hoosier girl.

It's now 2020. I'm 80 years old. Yet, this song is as fresh and meaningful as when I first heard it in 1967. It's part of my life, forever.

@karlwithak.

Not forever...I mean you are 80.

@josemata7890

@@karlwithak. Ah, a literalist and realist you are, Peter... Let's rephrase. The song is a meaningful part of my life that will stay with me until my life is over. May you still remember Dusty Springfield if you get to be 80 years old Peter!

@karlwithak.

@@josemata7890 Touche...I should have known not to mess with an educated, smart person :D Also congratulations on defeating all of life's challenges to achieve such a venerable victory of reaching 80...and a half, may you life to 117.
