Great song from a great team.  Many versions on You Tube -
here is a slow recording from 1979 by Peter Skellern - use Capo 3 (Eb) to play along:

[VERSE 1]
Cmaj7 Am7  Dm7              G7
Some  day, when I'm awfully low,
Em7               A7    Dm7           G7
When the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking
Cmaj7 Am7  Dm7             G7     Cmaj7  Am7  Dm7  G7
of    you  and the way you look tonight.

[VERSE 2]
           Cmaj7  Am7  Dm7                G7
Yes you're love - ly,  with your smile so warm
Em7                A7    Dm7              G7
And your cheeks so soft, there is nothing for me but to
Cmaj7 Am7  Dm7             G7     Cmaj7  Fmaj7  C  Bb7
love  you, and the way you look tonight.

[CHORUS]
Ebmaj7     Gdim      Abmaj7      Bb7
With each  word your tenderness grows,
Gm7        Gdim   Fm7     Bb7
Tearing my fear  apart...
Gm7      C7         Fm7           G
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
   Ebmaj7      F#dim7  Dm7      G7
It touches my  foolish heart.

[VESD  3]
       Cmaj7  Am7 Dm7         G7
You're love - ly, Never, ever change.
Em7                  A7     Dm7               G7
Keep that breathless charm. Won't you please arrange it ? 'Cause I
Cmaj7 Am7  Dm7             G7      Cmaj7
love  you  and the way you look  tonight.
