The Way You Look Tonight
Westlife & Joanne Hindley 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,
One day, when I am extremely sad,


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


I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
You bring light into my heart just by being in my thoughts,


And the way you look tonight.
The image of you in my mind is a comfort to me,


Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
Your beauty lies in the warmth of your smile,


And your cheeks so soft,
The softness of your cheeks adds to your loveliness,


There is nothing for me but to love you,
I cannot help but love you,


And the way you look tonight.
Especially when I picture you in my mind's eye,


With each word your tenderness grows,
Every time you speak, your kindness becomes clearer to me,


Tearing my fear apart...
Your tenderness dispels the fear in my heart,


And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Even the way you laugh makes me love you more,


It touches my foolish heart.
My heart is moved by every little thing about you,


Lovely... never, ever change.
You are perfect just the way you are, please do not change anything,


Keep that breathless charm.
You have a charming personality that leaves me breathless,


Won't you please arrange it
Please do not change a thing,


'cause I love you... just the way you look tonight.
I love everything about you, especially the way you look right now,


Mm, mm, mm, mm,
Sound of adoration and admiration,


Just the way you look tonight.
You are stunning, exactly as you are in this moment.
