Something About the Way You Look Tonight by Elton John

I remember the most beautiful person I've met when ever I hear this song. No it's not Princess Diana or Marilyn Monroe or a girl that I was infatuated with. Her name was Dionisia and she was my Lola. As usual, my brother Augy bought a copy of this single and we listened to it with her on our living room (which is also Augy's bedroom).

It would be within the year when she would leave us. She's the most generous person I know! No kind words would be able to give justice really. I remember a time wherein I was very afraid of seeing ghosts that she even offered a space in her bed for me to sleep in. That's the kind of grandma she was. Ask my brother Augy, he would know.




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
