Lyrics
Someday, when I’m awfully lowWhen the world is coldI will feel a glowJust thinking of youAnd the way you look tonightOh, but you’re lovelyWith your smile so warmAnd your cheek so softThere is nothing for meBut to love youJust the way you look tonightWith each word your tenderness growsTearing my fears apartAnd that laughThat wrinkles your noseTouches my foolish heartLovelyNever, ever changeKeep that breathless charmWon’t you please arrange it‘Cause I, I love youJust the way you look tonightJust the way you look tonight…
