"Looking At You" lyrics

"Looking At You"
(originally by Cole Porter)

Looking at you
While troubles are fleeing
I'm admiring the view
'Cause it's you that I'm seeing
And the sweet honeydew
Of well-being
Settles upon me

What is this light
That shines when you enter
Like a star in the night?
And what's to prevent him
From destroying my sight
When you center
All of it on me?

Looking at you
I'm filled with the essence of
The quintessence of joy
Looking at you
I hear poets tellin' of
Lovely Helen of Troy

Life seemed so gray
I wanted to end it
Till that wonderful day
You started to mend it
And if you'll only stay
I'll spend it all
Looking at you

Just looking at you
While troubles are fleeing
I'm admiring the view
'Cause it's you that I'm seeing
And the sweet honeydew
Of well-being
Settles upon me

Looking at you
I'm filled with the essence of
The quintessence of joy
Looking at you
I hear poets tellin' of
Lovely Helen of Troy

Life seemed so gray
I wanted to end it
Till that wonderful day
You started to mend it
And if you'll only stay
I'll spend it all
Looking at you

I'm gonna spend my lonely life
Looking at you
Looking at you
Looking at you
Looking at you
Looking at you
