Wikipedia:
This Guy’s in Love with You was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and released by Herb Alpert in 1968.
Although known primarily for his trumpet playing as the leader of the Tijuana Brass, Alpert sang lead vocals on this solo recording, which was arranged by Bacharach.
Alpert recognised in the song qualities that made it a good fit for himself as a singer and trumpet player. The composition had a recognisable Bacharach-David feel, a spot for a signature horn solo in the bridge and in the fadeout, and it was an easy song to sing for singers like Alpert with a limited vocal range.

Music video:
Alpert’s filmed version of This Guy’s in Love with You appeared in 1968 as a part of his CBS television special The Beat of the Brass. In the film, which has a studio recording of the song as its soundtrack, Alpert can be seen walking around in various natural environments in Malibu, California (including a woodland and a beach), singing the song to his wife Sharon. In response to numerous viewer telephone calls to the network following the broadcast, Alpert decided that the song should be released as a single recording.

Lyrics:
You see this guy
This guy’s in love with you
Yes, I’m in love
Who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you
I’m glad I got to know you
