Look of Love

The Real Vocal Book's sheet
music to this sultry song.
I've been looked at quite indignantly,
and from (too often, this) the misty heights
of ignorance, with anger and with pangs of longing,
strong expressions of sincere concern and carnal lust,
respectfully and jealously, in friendship and disdain,
with pained surprise and feigned indifference,
just making fun, that moment (stunned) when
someone realizes I have changed or grown
into a person he or she has never known and
isn't sure that he or she is ready to take on
the person I am now, but how I love
the fiery, foolish, passionate and pure,
the tirelessly romantic, frantic, sure as shootin',
undisputed look of love I see there
in your eyes.
