The Way You Look Tonight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Yes, 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

[Bridge]
With each word, your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart, mm

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 3]
Mm, yes, you're so lovely; never, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight, mm-mm
[Outro]
Just the way you look tonight

What did Alex Villoria say about "The Way You Look Tonight"?
Genius Answer

A lot of people might think of this as Frank Sinatra’s upbeat, swing rendition. But as with almost all famous jazz songs, this jazz standard has many artists contributing their version, including me! I was heavily inspired by Tony Bennett for this one, as it’s almost melancholy.
