"The Way You Look Tonight" is a song from the film Swing Time, originally performed by Fred Astaire. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1936. In 2004 the Astaire version finished at #43 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.

The song was sung to Ginger Rogers as Penelope "Penny" Carroll by Astaire in character as John "Lucky" Garnett, while Penny was busy washing her hair in an adjacent room. The song was written by Jerome Kern with lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and has become a standard. Fields later remarked, "The first time Jerry played that melody for me I went out and started to cry. The release absolutely killed me. I couldn't stop, it was so beautiful."

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 tonight

You're so lovely, with your smile so warm

And your cheek so soft

There is nothing for me but to love you

And the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows

Tearing my fears apart

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose

Touches my foolish heart

Yes you're lovely, never ever change

Keep that breathless charm

Won't you please arrange it?

'Cause I love you

Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows

Tearing my fears apart

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose

Touches my foolish heart

Yes you're lovely, never ever change

Keep that breathless charm

Won't you please arrange it?

'Cause I love you

Just the way you look tonight

Just the way you look tonight

Darling

Just the way you look tonight.
