Michael Ball - With One燣ook (Sunset Boulevard) lyrics

(Andrew Lloyd Webber/Don Black/Christopher Hampton)

from the musical, Sunset Boulevard

With one look

I can break your heart

With one look

I can play every part

I can make your sad heart sing

With one look

You'll know what you need to know

With one smile

I'm the guy next door

All the love you've hungered for

When I speak is with my soul

I can play any role

No words can tell

The stories my eyes tell

Watch me when I frown

You can't write that down

You know I'm right

It's there in black and white

When I look your way

You'll hear what I say

Yes,

With one look

I put words to shame

Just one look I set the screen on flame

Silent music starts to play

One tear in my eye

makes the whole world cry

With one look

They'll forgive the past

They'll rejoice I return at last

To my people in the dark

Still out there in the dark

Silent music starts to play

With one look

You'll know all you need to know

With one look

I'll ignite the blaze

I'll return to my glory days

They'll say, "Look, who's back at last!"

This time

I'm staying

Staying for good

I'll be back

where I was born to be

With one look

I'll be me
