Something About The Way You Look Tonight - 
Song Lyrics

  • Written by Elton John & Bernie Taupin
  • Originally performed by Elton John
  • The song was on the "B" side of the "Candle In The Wind '97" release dedicated to the death of Princess Diana
  • As a result of the competition from the "A" side which went on to become the highest selling single of all time, attention was somewhat less focused on this cut
  • However, it was #1 on the Adult Contemporary charts for a whopping 10 weeks in 1997
  • A great song as a first dance at weddings 

Other songs by Elton John also performed by Oracle Band:


There was a time
I was everything and nothing all in one
When you found me
I was feeling like a cloud across the sun

I need to tell you
How you light up every second of the day
But in the moonlight
You just shine like a beacon on the bay

And I can't explain
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside
And I can't describe
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
The way you look tonight

With a smile
You pull the deepest secrets from my heart
In all honesty
I'm speechless and I don't know where to start
