Lyrics

Whoa, whoa, (Am)whoa.

When your world is full (G)of strange ar range ments

and grav i ty (G)won’t pull you through,

you know you’re miss (G)ing out on some thing

and that some thing de (G)pends on you.

(F)All I’m (G)say ing, it takes a (F)lot to (F)love you.

(F)All I’m (G)do ing, you know it’s true.

(F)All I (G)mean now, there’s (Em)one thing, yes (F)one thing (F)that turns this

(Em)grey sky to blue.

That’s the look, that’s the look, the look of (G)love.

That’s the look, that’s the look, the look of (G)love.

That’s the look, that’s the look, the look of (F)love.

When your girl has left (G)you out on the pave ment,

then your dreams fall a (G)part at the (Em)seams.

Your rea son for (G)liv ing’s your (Em)rea son for (F)liv ing, don’t ask (G)me

(F)what it means.

(Who’s got the look?) I don’t (G)know the an swer (Em)to that ques tion.

(F)(Where’s the look?) If I (G)knew, I would (Em)tell you.

(G)What’s the look?

Look, for (G)your in for (Em)ma tion,

(F)yes, there’s (F)one thing, the (G)one thing that (Em)still holds true.

(What’s (G)that?)

(G)Whoa, whoa, (Am)whoa, whoa.

That’s the look, that’s the look, the look of (G)love.

That’s the look, that’s the look, the look of (G)love.

That’s the look, that’s the look, the look of (F)love,

(Am)look (G)of (Am)love.

(F)If you judge a (G)book by the (Em)cov er,

then you judge the (G)look by the (Em)lov er.

I (F)hope you’ll soon re cov er;

me, I go from (G)one ex treme to an oth er.

That’s the look, that’s the look,

sis ters and (F)broth ers.

That’s the look, that’s the look, should help each (F)oth er.

That’s the look, that’s the look,

ooh (G)ooh.

Heav (Am)ens (G)a (Am)bove.

That’s the look, that’s the look,

sis ters and (F)broth ers.

That’s the look, that’s the look, should help each (F)oth er.

That’s the look, that’s the look,

ooh (G)ooh.

Heav (Am)ens (G)a (Am)bove.

(Am)Look (G)of (Am)love!

About “The Look Of Love

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "The Look Of Love"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature C. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "The Look Of Love" by ABC played in?
The Look Of Love is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "The Look Of Love"?
The arrangement plays at 112 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "The Look Of Love" easy to play on piano?
This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
Can I download sheet music for "The Look Of Love"?

Who composed "The Look Of Love"?

This arrangement uses 4 chords: Am, Em, F, G. Only a handful of chords — beginner-friendly.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "The Look Of Love" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 112 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
