Lovely to Look At [From the 1935 Film Roberta]
Dorothy Fields
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
