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 tonightOh 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 tonightWith each word
Your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heartLovely never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won’t you please arrange it
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

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 tonightOh 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 tonightWith each word
Your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heartLovely never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won’t you please arrange it
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
