Yes, finally a beautiful version with a female voice and piano accompaniment!

OK, here we are almost 8 years since this was posted... It boggles the mind that this performance has only a little over half a million views. That was superb, simply superb. And what the hell is wrong with the 130 people who didn't like it?

Abby this is a truly exceptional rendition of this song, I think you are an exceptional talent and beauty young lady . More please like this .

Don't overlook the pianist.  He plays wonderfully and isn't even mentioned.

I've loved this song for years, and have heard it performed by some of the world's most famous singers.  But NO PERFORMANCE has touched me the way this one has. How is it that this young girl -- she can't be more than 20 -- can interpret the brilliant lyrics of this song and deliver what amounts to a hymn to love?  If there is any justice in this world, Abby will become a HUGE STAR!  I am in awe of this performance!

[stephenlevine]

Hearing this version for the first time confirms my opinion that this is one of the two or three greatest songs in The Great American Songbook.  Hats off to this delightful singer and her marvelous accompanist!

Most singers project their songs at the audience. The best singers draw their audience into their song so they become part of the musical experience. Abby, you did the latter. God has blessed you with an amazing gift that few have so thank you for allowing us to be part of an excellent version of a timeless classic.

[eyecatcher]

Exquisite, elegant, smooth and classy. Great team work.

[charlesbarry]

Great cover of a beautiful song. The pianist compliments the singer.

[ernienanos]

Abby, Your beautiful voice is "The Way You Look Tonight". This is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I have ever heard!!! The piano was played very softly for this song, you also sang this song softly. This is exactly how this beautiful, timeless classic should be sung and played on the piano. A beautiful, beautiful voice, a voice from the Angels in Heaven. Many Blessings to you and your family.

The song defines an indelible moment in my life. Of all the arrangements by all the vocalists out there, i choose this. It's intoxicatingly beautiful and for me, restorative.

[DevonDandy]

Intelligent lyric, great diction, precise phrasing, delicate modulation. We can only hope that this stye of singing will return to mainstream music and be heard on the radio again some day, replacing the shrieking, wailing and thumping noises that pass for popular music right now.

[davidstaff]

I have played this as a piano solo for many years and have never bothered looking for a vocal version....what have I missed out on? Absolutely beautiful rendition, crystal clear, excellent choice of tempo and a spot-on pianist. Please do more like this!!!!

[paulclaxton]

Perfect rendition - I've heard 12 renditions of this song. A thing of beauty.

[johnpingel]

The finest rendition of this song I have ever heard.

[brianbyfield]

At pushing 80 years I have heard all the greats sing this, Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Fitzgerald etc. I have yet to hear a better version than this young ladies. Phrasing delivery exquisite, an absolutely stunning vocal, piano player at the top of his form. When can I buy this please, absolutely love it!!!!

Someday
When I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Yes you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh
Wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely
Never ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely
Don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

Hmm...
Hmm...
Just the way you look tonight

[betsyveritas]

Abby, from one singer to another, you're absolutely incredible - way better than I ever was. Your pianist is great too.

[jeromek]

Great version, the accompanist deserves a name check, lovely arrangement.

[davido.]
