Something About the Way You Look Tonight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a time
I was everythin' and nothin' all in one
When you found me
I was feelin' like a cloud across the sun

[Verse 2]
I need to tell ya
How you light up every second of the day
But in the moonlight
You just shine like a beacon on the bay


[Chorus]
And I can't explain
But it's somethin' about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
It's that feelin' I get about you deep inside
And I can't describe
But it's somethin' about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
The way you look tonight

[Verse 3]
With a smile
You pull the deepest secrets from my heart
In all honesty
I'm speechless, and I don't know where to start
[Chorus]
And I can't explain
But it's somethin' about the way you look tonight
(Oh) Takes my breath away
It's that feelin' I get about you deep inside
And I can't describe
But it's somethin' about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
The way you look tonight

[Chorus]
And I can't explain
But it's somethin' about the way you look tonight
Oh, takes my breath away
It's that feelin' I get about you deep inside
And I can't describe
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
The way you look tonight

[Outro]
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
(The way you look) Way you look tonight
The way you look tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
