The Look of Love

Last month I bought a new compilation CD entitled "Voices We Love" by various artistes such as Norah Jones, Micheal Buble, Josh Groban, Sarah McLachlan and so on. Since the time I bought the CD, I haven't really got the chance to really listen to all the songs featured in the compilation. Besides, I was quite fond with another CD by a local male crooner that I didn't bother to listen to the other CDs I bought including the Voices We Love.

Early this week, I've decided to check out all the new CDs I bought and by chance, I came upon the Voices We Love. I was wondering why I haven't listened to this CD yet when I saw in the songs list the big names of jazz like Alison Moyet, K.D. Lang and Diana Krall. There's also this new girl Renee Olstead (I hope I spelt the name correctly :p) who sings like she's been singing her whole life. So, I put the CD into my CD player and started listening, I mean REALLY listening to the songs...

The CD started with Norah Jones, Micheal Buble and Josh Groban... followed by other artistes like Aretha Franklin, Joss Stone, Renee Olstead and 2 others whom I can't remember. Suddenly, this smooth and romantic jazz song hit the air. I was lullabied by the jazzy strings. And when I was swinging with music, Diana Krall started to croon "The Look of Love"...

Oh God! This is the most beautiful love song I've ever heard! It's like a lullaby not only to your ears but also to your heart and soul. Hearing this song, I felt like I want to fall in love very badly. The melody sipped into my blood and my skin was blotted with goosebumps by every struck of chord.

I was like, "Stop, Diana, stop torturing my heart with your song," but I kept repeating the song over and over again. Diana's voice was so husky and romantic and it sweetly stabbed my heart like Cupid's arrow of love! I could feel myself drowning deeper and deeper into the vision of love created by this song and I rose higher and higher with every words she sang...

I couldn't help by sighing everytime I hear this song! This is the perfect song for your wedding, the perfect song for a candlelit dinner with your loved one, the perfect song to dance with your lover, the perfect song to simply dream about love...

The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your smile can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long i have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that i have found you

You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long i have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that i have found you
Don't ever go

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long i have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that i have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
