Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Morten Harket's cover of the classic song "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" is a heartfelt ode to the overwhelming feelings of love and adoration. The song, originally performed by Frankie Valli in 1967, has been covered by numerous artists, but Harket brings his own unique touch to the timeless tune. The lyrics express an intense and almost incredulous admiration for a loved one, suggesting that their presence and essence are so compelling that it's impossible to look away.

The song's verses convey a sense of awe and gratitude for the love that has entered the singer's life. The repeated line "You're just too good to be true" emphasizes the almost surreal perfection that the singer sees in their beloved. This hyperbolic expression of love is common in romantic songs, serving to elevate the object of affection to an almost divine status. The physical desire to be close, to touch, and to hold the person is intertwined with a profound emotional connection.

The chorus of the song is a direct appeal to the loved one, expressing a deep need and a plea for reassurance that the feelings are mutual. The repetition of "I love you, baby" and the requests for trust and permanence in the relationship highlight the vulnerability that comes with such intense emotions. The song is not just about the joy of love, but also the fear of losing it, and the hope that it will last. Morten Harket's rendition captures the timeless essence of the song, making it resonate with listeners who have experienced the all-consuming nature of love.
