The Way You Look Tonight
Westlife & Diana Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
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 ... just the way you look tonight.
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.
Mm, mm, mm, mm,
Just the way you look to-night.

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
There will come a day when I am incredibly sad and down on my luck,
When the world is cold,
During a period when everything seems unfriendly and difficult to navigate,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
I will feel a warmth deep inside me just from thinking about you...
And the way you look tonight.
And especially the sight of you in the present moment.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
You truly are beautiful, with a smile that radiates kindness and tenderness,
And your cheeks so soft,
And the softness of your cheeks...
There is nothing for me but to love you,
There is no other option for me - I canβt help but love you,
And the way you look tonight.
Especially in this moment, as I gaze at you.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Every time you speak, your gentleness towards me expands and blooms,
Tearing my fear apart...
Whittling away at the fear inside me...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
And the sound of your laugh, the one that causes wrinkles to form on your nose...
It touches my foolish heart.
That laugh stirs something in me which I recognize as silly and foolish but I canβt help it.
Lovely ...don't you ever change.
You are wonderful and perfect just as you are - please never change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Hold on to that charm, the one that takes my breath away...
Won't you please arrange it?
Could you possibly find a way to make sure it stays this way?
'cause I love you ... just the way you look tonight.
Because I truly love you, regardless of anything, especially at this moment.
Mm, mm, mm, mm,
Mmm...
Just the way you look to-night.
Itβs that sight of you right now which really does it for me.
