The Way You Look Tonight
Fred Astaire · Great Recordings From 1926-1941
When I'm awfuly 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 you smile so warm
And your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look, tonight
With each word you 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
Just the way you look, tonight
