The Way You Look Tonight
Capturing Love's Radiance: The Essence of 'The Way You Look Tonight'
Lyrics
Some day, when I'm awfully low,
Anticipating a future time when I'm deeply down or sad.
When the world is cold,
Describing a moment when the world feels unwelcoming and cold.
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
Expecting a warm feeling, a glow, by simply thinking of someone special.
And the way you look tonight.
Expressing admiration for the way the person looks at that particular moment.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
Acknowledging the person's loveliness, focusing on a warm smile.
And your cheeks so soft,
Highlighting the softness of the person's cheeks.
There is nothing for me but to love you,
Declaring love as the only option in response to the person's qualities.
And the way you look tonight.
Reiterating appreciation for the person's appearance.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Noticing the growth of tenderness with each spoken word.
Tearing my fear apart...
Describing how the tenderness in words is overpowering and breaking down fear.
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Highlighting the endearing laugh that affects the speaker's heart.
It touches my foolish heart.
Describing the impact of the person's laughter on the speaker's emotions.
Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Expressing a desire for the person to remain lovely and never change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Admiring the breathless charm possessed by the person.
Won't you please arrange it ?
Making a plea for the person to maintain their charming qualities.
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.
Declaring love for the person just the way they are.
Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Repeating sounds, possibly indicating a musical interlude or emotional emphasis.
Just the way you look to-night.
Reaffirming the admiration for the person's appearance at night.
