I've seen the look of a baby
with a rattle
I've seen the look of a hero in
a battle
I've seen the look of a
heartsick turtle dove
But the look that leaves ya real
shook is the look of love
I've seen the look of a jockey
on a winner
I've seen the look of a fat man
havin' dinner
I've seen the look of those
spacemen up above
But the look that closes the
book is the look of love
It's thunder, it's lightning,
the gentlest breeze
It's friendly, it's frightening
And more surprising than an
elephant's sneeze
I've seen the look every single
blushing bride has
I've seen the look that the
fellow by her side has
But there's one look that I'd
give my life to see
We are locked in a wondrous
embrace
And there on that fabulous face
Is that fabulous look of love
for me
<instrumental-first two lines
of last verse>
But there's one look that I'd
give my life to see
We are locked in a wondrous
embrace
And there on that fabulous face
Is that fabulous look of love
for me
That's what I wanna see
That look of love for me
