LOOK OF LOVE, THE
Jimmy Van Heusen (m) Sammy Cahn (l)

as rec by Frank Sinatra w Nelson Riddle & his Orch  
Aug 27th 1962 Los Angeles


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 you 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 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!

But there's one look 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,
The look of love for me!
