Verse 1
I remember the first time
I showed up at your door.
The way that you were smilin’
And that summer dress you wore.
I would’ve said it right then
If my tongue wasn’t tied.
You look beautiful tonight.
(mmm)
Sometime after midnight
We were closin’ that bar down.
You lit up like a school board
Talkin’ about your hometown.
I didn’t want to interrupt you
I couldn’t help it at the time
I said, “You look beautiful tonight.”
Chorus
Every time you smile
Every word you speak
Is a work of art
Just to watch you be
Just the way you are
You don’t have to try.
Darling, you look beautiful tonight.
Verse 2
Movin’ into that apartment
Up on five-two-o-three.
You were fightin’ with the boxes
In a t-shirt and bare feet.
I stopped you in the kitchen
And you thought I was lyin’
When I said, “You look beautiful tonight.”
Chorus
Every time you smile
Every word you speak
Is a work of art
Just to watch you be
Just the way you are
You don’t have to try.
Darling, you look beautiful tonight.
Bridge
Ooh-ooh
There’ll never be a day
That it ain’t true ooh
Still love it I can’t
Think right here with you ooh
You’re so beautiful
Chorus
Every time you smile
Every word you speak
Is a work of art
Just to watch you be
Just the way you are
You don’t have to try.
Darling, you look beautiful (mmm)
Darling, you look beautiful tonight (yeah)
You look beautiful tonight (mmm)
