Looking at You Songtext
von Johnny Mathis

Looking at you while trouble′s a-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 telling of lovely Helen of Troy
Life seemed so gray I wanted to end it
'Til 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 trouble′s a-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 telling of lovely Helen of Troy
Life seemed so gray I wanted to end it
′Til 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
