Lyrics

Some

day

when I’m aw f’lly low,

when the world is cold,

I will feel a glow just think ing of

you

and the way you look to night.

Oh, but you’re love

ly,

with your smile so warm

and your cheek so soft,

there is noth ing for me but to love

you

just the way you look

to

night.

Oh, but you’re

With

each

word

your

ten der

ness grows,

tear ing

my fear

a

part.

And

that

laugh,

that

wrin kles

your nose

touch es

my fool

ish

heart.

Just the way you look

to

night.
