Lyrics
“I Only Have Eyes For You”
My love must be a kind of blind love
I can’t see anyone but youAre the stars out tonight?
I don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright
I only have eyes for you, dearThe moon may be high
But I can’t see a thing in the sky
‘Cause I only have eyes for youI don’t know if we’re in a garden
Or on a crowded avenueYou are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for youThe moon may be high
But I can’t see a thing in the sky
‘Cause I only have eyes for youYou are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from viewI don’t know if we’re in a garden
Or on a crowded avenueYou are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
