The Way You Look Tonight
Tony Baker and his orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh but you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart,
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely
Never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you, just the way you look tonight





'Cause I love you, just the way you look tonight
Just the way you look tonight

Line by Line Meaning

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
At some point in the future, when I'm feeling really down,


When the world is cold,
When everything around me seems unfeeling and unloving,


I will feel a glow just thinking of you
I know that just the thought of you will warm my heart and bring me comfort,


And the way you look tonight
The image of you -- so beautiful and charming -- will be a source of light in the darkness of my mood.


Oh but you're lovely, with your smile so warm
You are truly captivating, with your delightful smile that radiates positive energy,


And your cheeks so soft,
Your cheeks are so smooth and tender to the touch,


There is nothing for me but to love you,
I am simply overwhelmed with affection and admiration for you,


Just the way you look tonight
In this moment, looking so enchanting, you are perfect to me.


With each word your tenderness grows,
As you speak to me with such gentleness and kindness, my heart swells with emotion,


Tearing my fear apart,
I feel as if any worries or apprehensions I may have had are now being dispelled and replaced with trust and tranquility,


And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Your joyous laughter, which crinkles your adorable nose and fills the air with such a delightful sound,


Touches my foolish heart
Is able to touch even the most foolish and wary part of me, and make me feel happily and wonderfully alive.


Lovely
You are truly magnificent,


Never, ever change
Please stay just the way you are forever,


Keep that breathless charm
He may hope she continues to leave him speechless with her beauty and allure,


Won't you please arrange it?
He's asking her nicely if she can see it in her heart to meet his wishes so he can keep her forever lovely with breathless beauty,


'Cause I love you, just the way you look tonight
Because he loves her so deeply, exactly as she is in this moment.


'Cause I love you, just the way you look tonight
Because his love for her transcends time and won't change no matter how old she gets, or how different she looks in the future.

Some day, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearin' my fear apart
And that laugh wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely, don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you
A just the way you look tonight

Mm, mm mm, mm,
Just the way you look tonight
(Thank me later just read them with song)
