The Way You Look Tonight
Capturing Timeless Love: The Lettermen's Melody
Lyrics
Some day, when I'm awfully low
Expressing a future moment of deep emotional distress or sadness
When the world is cold
Describing a time when the environment or circumstances are emotionally distant or harsh
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
Anticipating a comforting feeling by thoughts of the person being addressed
And the way you look tonight
Admiring the beauty and appeal of the person's appearance
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
Complimenting the person's attractiveness and warm demeanor
And your cheeks so soft
Highlighting the softness of the person's cheeks, adding to their allure
There is nothing for me but to love you
Expressing complete devotion and a sense of obligation to love the person
And the way you look tonight
Reiterating admiration for the person's appearance
With each word your tenderness grows
Noting the growth of affection and care with each spoken word from the person
Tearing my fear apart
Describing how the person's tenderness is overcoming the speaker's fears
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Appreciating the endearing laughter that impacts the speaker's emotions
It touches my foolish heart
Acknowledging the effect of the person's laughter on the speaker's heart
Lovely, never, ever change
Requesting the person to remain unchanged due to their loveliness
Keep that breathless charm
Asking the person to maintain their captivating charm
Won't you please arrange it?
Asking for the preservation of the qualities that make the person special
'Cause I love you
Declaring love for the person as they are
Just the way you look tonight
Reaffirming love for the person's current appearance and disposition
Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Expressing sound of appreciation or contentment
Just the way you look tonight
Reiterating appreciation for the person's appearance
