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'tyou 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'tyou 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 . . .
