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

Oh but you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear 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

'Cause I love you, just the way you look tonight
Just the way you look tonight
