"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.
