Mabel Mercer - Looking at You Lyrics

While troubles are fleeing
I'm admiring the view
Cause it's you I'm seeing
And the sweet honey dew
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 her
From destroying my sight
If she centers 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 tellin' of
Lovely helen of troy
Darling
Life seemed so gray
I wanted to end it
Till that wonderful day
You started to mend it
And if you'll only stay
I'll spend it looking at you

While troubles are fleeing
I'm admiring the view
Cause it's you I'm seeing
And the sweet honey dew
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 her
From destroying my sight
If she centers 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 tellin' of
Lovely helen of troy
Darling
Life seemed so gray
I wanted to end it
Till that wonderful day
You started to mend it
And if you'll only stay
I'll spend it looking at you
