Some day,

(Bm7)when the world is (E7)cold,

(Am7)I will feel a (D9)glow just (D9)think ing (F)of

(Cmaj7)and the way you (Am7)look to night.

You’re so

love ly,

(Am7)with your smile so (D9)warm

(Bm7)and your cheek so (E7)soft;

(Am7)there is no thing (D9)for me (D9)but to (F)love

you

(Cmaj7)and the way you (Am7)look to night.

You’re so

With each word,

your (Cm7)ten der ness grows,

(Dm7)tear ing my fears

a part;

and that laugh

that (Cm7)wrink les your nose

(Bbmaj9)touch es my (Gm9)fool ish heart.

Yes, you’re love (E7)ly;

(Bm7)keep that breath less (E7)charm.

(Am7)Won’t you please ar range it, ’cause I (Dm7(add11))love

(Em7)darl ing;

(Fmaj9)just the way you (D9)look to night.
