The Way You Look Tonight
Tyrell Steve 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.

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,
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It 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.





Mm, mm, mm, mm,
Just the way you look tonight.

Line by Line Meaning

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
There may be days when I feel down and miserable,


When the world is cold,
There may be times when the ambiance is not positive and everything seems dull,


I will feel a glow just thinking of you
But I will feel happy and content by just having thoughts of you,


And the way you look tonight.
Especially the way you appear tonight.


Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
Your beauty is undeniable, with a charming warm smile,


And your cheeks so soft,
Your tender cheeks look so smooth and adorable,


There is nothing for me but to love you,
There is nothing left to do, except loving you deeply,


And the way you look tonight.
Especially the way you look tonight.


With each word your tenderness grows,
As I listen to you, my appreciation for your gentle nature only increases,


Tearing my fear apart
It even makes me forget and shed my worries,


And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Your laughter is infectious and elicits an amusing expression each time,


It touches my foolish heart.
Your happy ways have power over me, making me feel utterly ridiculous.


Lovely never, ever change.
Whatever happens, don't ever change your loveliness and uniqueness,


Keep that breathless charm.
Maintain the way of charming me every time I look at you,


Won't you please arrange it ?
Could you please ensure that you will stay lovely for me always?


'Cause I love you
I am so in love with you for who you are,


Just the way you look tonight.
Especially the way you appear tonight.


Mm, mm, mm, mm,
(Background music)

"Blessed is the influence of one true, loving human soul on another".
George Eliot

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,
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It 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.

Mm, mm, mm, mm,
Just the way you look to-night... 


Thank You for posting this ageless classic.
Please Be Well, and Stay Strong, Will

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

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
Tearing my fears 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

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

You're lovely don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
Tonight

This IS absolutely the BEST version ever. I loved it so much, that it was the song my husband & I danced to at our wedding. Love it!

@grahamholden5083

This is our song (my wife Terry's and mine).. For 31 years. I lost her to cancer 4 Years ago. Think about her every day. Of course I think intensely about her whenever I hear this song.. this was out favorite version; Sinatra's is good but this is the best. Hold those you love close. tell them you love them often. And treasure the memories.
