Softer than the starlight, warmer than the sunshine,
Brighter than the moonlight, younger than the springtime,
Sweeter than the roses fresh with the mornin' dew,
Baby, I tell you true, they act the way they do,
'Cause love looks so good on you!
Did you see the little children follow you
When you walked by ? ( When you walked by . . . )
And did you see the people stop an' stare
And did you wonder why ? ( And did you wonder why . . . )
I can tell you it's because . . .
Love is a welcome sight!
Didn't you know love's glow is . . .
Softer than the starlight, warmer than the sunshine,
Brighter than the moonlight, younger than the springtime,
Sweeter than the roses fresh with the mornin' dew,
Baby, I tell you true, they act the way they do,
'Cause love looks so good on you!
Do your old friends ever say . . .
It seems that you have changed somehow ?
And does it seem to you that the same old things . . .
Are different now ?
It's because you seem to glow . . .
Oh! What a lovely light!
Didn't you know love's glow is . . .
Softer than the starlight, warmer than the sunshine,
Brighter than the moonlight, younger than the springtime,
Sweeter than the roses fresh with the mornin' dew,
Baby, I tell you true, they act the way they do,
'Cause love looks so good on you!
Love looks so good on you . . .
