Billie Holiday - The Way You Look Tonight Lyrics






Someday 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
Oh, but you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me
But to love you
Just the way you look tonight
With each word
Your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

Billie Holiday The Way You Look Tonight Comments
  1. D.... R....

    More than likely the best version I've heard. Pure magic.

  2. B.... R....

    Wow. The phrasing!

  3. L.... R....

    SEXSEXSEXSEXISALLICANTHINKABOOOOOUUUUUUUUUT OAH YES I just got an erection watching my daughter will come back here after the rape,

  4. C.... B....

    Fantastic. Love the clarinet sound.

  5. �.... ....

    😃⤴️😃

  6. J.... Y....

    She sings exactly the way I've always felt inside, starting when I was a mere five years old.

  7. J.... P....

    Many times great ;/

  8. d.... t....

    Thanks eldo

  9. C.... ....

    My gosh-she was so good.

  10. t.... d....

    Not a great version, that double rhythm sucks.

  11. L.... D....

    She is one of my favorites along with Doris Day and Ella Fitzgerald!

  12. i.... ....

    The fact that Frank Sinatra made a cover of this song and both have different style of music amazes me.

  13. N.... M....

    I'm young and stuck listening to 30s-90s music. It changed my life, because i started thinking differently, and it made me happy and sad sometimes, because i can't see people, who can express their emotions and feelings like billie could. She was expressing it through music, even with or without, we are not emotional today, we can't feel, only when we're hurt physically... nobody can feel this style of music, and i don't understand, do you like trap and bass that basically blow our ears off? I was listening to trap before i found billie, and other legends... So sad that the message that billie and others gave to us, almost no-one can understand today, they'd rather hear drums every second going hard at it, rather than listening to real music, which has harmony, lyrics that make you think, these songs that billie and others were releasing, it was about their lives, of course we wouldn't learn from them because why do we care? I care, we have same life situations billie had, maybe not now, but in the future it might happen, just glad to hear real music,that cleared my mind from trap and bass trash...

    N.... M....

    Yeah what a long-winded way of saying you were born in the wrong generation. Just shut up and listen to the songs you like. You dont have to be a goddamn snob aboit it.

    N.... M....

    @harlem shaker you got it wrong... I'm not saying that i'm sad that i was born in wrong generation.

    N.... M....

    Niko,so glad to see a young man with a mind of yours,keep it up,you are great and unique 👍

  14. J.... G....

    So hard to sit still while listening to this! Her voice and all the instruments are all so perfect together!

  15. R.... C....

    So, as I visit I see 74 shared my thoughts. I cannot expand further except to say I still create lasting art and make friends. All from an early love of music like this that touches the heart.

  16. m.... b....

    BILLIE ❤

  17. J.... s....

    Super cool

  18. J.... B....

    I found her in my 20s and I liked a few songs, in my 30's she resonated with me, and now her songs fill me with memories of my own and those of her time. May your spirit find us again Billie.

  19. T.... A....

    Amazing! Her voice sounds exactly like a saxophone. Oh, wait ...

  20. P.... P....

    My love sent me here, ill always go back to her to come back to this music

    P.... P....

    Never letting you go away from my heart, my love

    "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.....
    Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm
    And your cheeks so soft
    There is nothing for me but to love you
    And the way you look tonight......"

    Lyrics so simple yet so universal !
    Made all the more memorable by Billie‘s bouncy interpretation.
    Ah, can't beat that combo !

  36. g.... v....

    I love this song,they dont make good music anymore-I'm stuck listening to the 60,70,80's sigh -the first time I heard this was over the radio in my new 58 chevy belair(miss that car)i will be 85 tomorrow and I still haven't done half the things i wanted to accomplish-take care younguns

    g.... v....

    gabe v I hope you had a wonderful Birthday! 💕

    g.... v....

    How about you. I'm nearly there with you; music and life xx

    g.... v....

    Gabe - shame on you for giving up so young. Yes, young. You are only 85. I am almost 87. When I was 80 I decided to upgrade and activate my bucket list by picking up where I left a potential career when i was 20, as a singer and actor.

    Two weeks ago I had to turn down an invitation from Mariah Carey to sing WITH her at the Hard Rock Hotel in Atlantic City because I had a long-standing event already booked. In the past 5+ years I have sung in a major Broadway show and been the lead in 3 Off-Off-Broadway shows. I created and manage a business that manages 12 performers. I have performed before, for and with major celebrities.

    Doubt me? Of course you do. Sometimes I doubt I've done this too. But look:

    What are you waiting for? There's still time. (BTW - I miss my 57 Chevy - and let's not even talk about my 51 Mercury Coupe.)

    g.... v....

    do tell....

    g.... v....

    U will get to do everything ,u didn't get to do in your next lifetime.
    I happy u had a wonderful birthday & many more!

  37. 3.... ....

    I was blessed with a mother who had exquisite tase in music.
    I grew up with music from this era.

    Love her. And the way she sounds tonight. Nobody like Billie. Her phrasing. Her diction. Her sense of humor and of drama. The way she plays with the lyrics and still keeps the writer's intent. She dresses herself in each song. Wears each one so well.

    S.... S....

    Yes. She's the ultimate songtress. A true artist whose art is forever, as this sort of beauty lives outside of time.
