With One Look
To the tune of With One Look from Andrew Lloyd Webber's, Sunset Boulevard.
| New Lyrics | Original Lyrics |
| She stood there on the street corner Painted face, pinpricks of blank eyes Trembling 'neath a load of pain And I took one look, tossed my head and passed. |
With one look I can break your heart With one look I play every part I can make your sad heart sing With one look you'll know all you need to know |
| I walked on, ignoring one still voice Telling me someone needed Him I thought myself way too high To reach out to someone low |
With one smile I'm the girl next door Or the love that you've hungered for When I speak it's with my soul I can play any role |
| Next time I passed Someone was in her place I asked where she was No one seemed to know |
No words can tell The stories my eyes tell Watch me when I frown, You can't write that down |
| No time to care Just got an empty stare But I knew in my soul She's no longer whole |
You know I'm right, It's there in black and white When I look your way, You'll hear what I say |
| Just that time I ignored my Lord Just that time that I turned away One more soul in dark and pain So much lost and yet there was something gained |
Yes, with one look I put words to shame Just one look sets the screen aflame Silent music starts to play One tear in my eye makes the whole world cry |
| I know now that life is dear Learn to trust, to obey that voice Reaching out with hands of care Scarred yet tender with love |
With one look they'll forgive the past They'll rejoice I've returned at last To my people in the dark Still out there in the dark... |
| I now know that on that day I will hear His voice, and I'll melt with joy "Well done, love, I am proud of you." "Lived your life according to My way." "Not your will but Mine you lived." |
Silent music starts to play With one look you'll know all you need to know With one look I'll ignite a blaze I'll return to my glory days They'll say, "Norma's back at last!" |
| Then He'll reach for me And I'll sing out with joy Worship the Saviour for all eternity Then I'll be truly free |
This time I am staying, I'm staying for good I'll be back to where I was born to be With one look I'll be me! |
