I couldn't stop, it was so beautiful."In the movie, Astaire sang "The Way You Look Tonight" to Ginger Rogers while she was washing her hair in an adjacent room.

Someday, 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, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it 'cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
