Some-day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold 
I will feel a glow just thinking of you

And the way you look toni-i-i-i-i-i-ight.
*Cdim    C Am7 Dm Dm7 G7
You're love-ly, with your smile so warm
And your cheek so soft; 
Dm Dm#7  Dm7 Gsus4 C Am
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight.  who whoa whoa whoa

BRIDGE:
With each word your tenderness grows,
CM7   Am7 F7. G7
Tearing my fear apart;
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart.

You're love-ly.     .never, never change,
Keep that breathless charm;

Just the way you look tonight,
