The Look of Love
Trijntje Oosterhuis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is in your eyes.
A look your smile
Can`t disguise.
The look of love,
It`s saying so much more than
just words could ever say.
And what my heart has heard,
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 that look of love.
It`s on your face.
The 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 love you,
Now that I have found you,
Don`t ever go.
Don`t ever go.
I love you so.

Absolutely beautiful orchestration. Thank You to Trijntje Oosterhuis for keeping the Genius of Bacharach and David and the era of the 60's alive. And for teaching this generation what music really defines and will forever be. The Look of Love is timeless.

Yes, orchestration is stupendis, in the best tradition, as the magic singer’s voice. A real tribute to our dear Burt Bacharak, one of the most brilliant melodist ever.

Just so lush....RIP Burt. I just discovered Trijntje....where have I been all these years? My dad was a woodwind player for Sinatra, Como, and many, many other greats. I wish he were alive to hear this, and in particular, Trijntje's voice. Her range, phrasing, and accuracy are really awesome. Arrangements and orchestra just incredible as well. Applause!!!
