“Watch What Happens” is from the 1964 film The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Tony Bennett’s was the first recording of the song, other than the film soundtrack, and the first in English.

Lyrics

Cold, no I can’t believe your heart is cold
Maybe slow to warm from a long, lonely night

But just let someone start believing in you,
let him hold out his hand
Let him touch you and watch what happens

One someone who can look in your eyes,
and see into your heart
Let him find you and watch what happens

Cold, no I won’t believe your heart is cold
Maybe just afraid to be broken again

But just let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you,
And what magic you’ll see

Let someone give his heart,
Someone who cares like me
Let someone give his heart who cares like me
Someone who cares like me

And what magic you’ll see
Let someone give his heart,
Someone who cares like me
Someone who cares like me
