Every Time I Look At You
Il Divo · Il Divo
I realise now I was wrong
'Cause every time I see your face
My mind becomes an empty space
And with you lying next to me
Feels Like I can hardly breathe
I close my eyes
The moment I surrender to you
Let love be blind
Innocent and tenderly true
So lead me through tonight
But please turn out the light
'Cause I'm lost every time I look at you
And in the morning when you go
Wake me gently so I'll know
That loving you was not a dream
And whisper softly what it means to be with me
Then every moment we're apart
Will be a lifetime to my heart
I close my eyes
The moment I surrender to you
Let love be blind
Innocent and tenderly true
So lead me through tonight
But please, please turn out the light
'Cause I'm lost every time I look at you
Lost. Every time I look at you
Every Time I Look At You
Performed by the Italian opera pop ensemble Il Divo, 'Every Time I Look At You' is a romantic ballad that blends classical vocal techniques with contemporary pop arrangements. Released on their 2006 debut album of the same name, the track features the group's signature four-part harmony, characteristic of their repertoire which often draws from the operatic repertoire of the 19th century. The song serves as a staple of their discography, reflecting the group's ability to reinterpret traditional art songs for modern audiences. Its enduring popularity stems from the emotional delivery of the ensemble and its adaptation of the original composition by Jacques Offenbach, establishing it as a signature piece within their catalog of romantic works.
