Ella Fitzgerald ft Nelson Riddle & His Orchestra - The Way You Look Tonight (Verve Records 1963)

"The Way You Look Tonight" is a song featured in the film Swing Time, originally performed by Fred Astaire. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1936. The song was sung to Ginger Rogers as Penelope "Penny" Carroll by Astaire's character of John "Lucky" Garnett while Penny was busy washing her hair in an adjacent room, and feeling anything but beautiful at the time. 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."

Ella's accompanied by Nelson Riddle & His Orchestra. Recorded January 6, 1963, Los Angeles. (Verve Records)

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.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.
Lovely
Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you

Just the way you look tonight.
Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.
