Lovely to Look At - Fred Astaire

Clothes must play a part

To light an eye, to win a heart;

They say a gown can almost speak

If it is chic

Should you select the right effect

You cannot miss

You may be sure

He will tell you this

Lovely to look at

Delightful to know and heaven to kiss

A combination like this

Is quite my most impossible scheme come true

Imagine finding a dream like you!

You’re lovely to look at

It’s thrilling to hold you terribly tight

For we’re together, the moon is new

And oh, it’s lovely to look at you tonight!

What appeals to me

Is just your charm and dignity

Not what you wear

But just an air, of great repose

You are quite perfect from your head down to your toes

Both night and day

I am moved to say

Lovely to look at

Delightful to know and heaven to kiss

A combination like this

Is quite my most impossible scheme come true

Imagine finding a dream like you!

You’re lovely to look at

It’s thrilling to hold you terribly tight

For we’re together, the moon is new

And oh, it’s lovely to look at you tonight!
