I have eyes to see with
But they see only you
For you have eyes
That put the very stars to shame

I have lips to sigh with
What else am I to do
When you have lips
That fill my very soul with flame

Tonight you’re near to me
In a light bright as day
But you’re so dear to me
I could see you even miles away

I have eyes to see with
And yet when we’re apart
I close my eyes
And see with my heart.

(Orchestral Interlude)

Tonight you’re near to me
In a light bright as day
But you’re so dear to me
I could see you even miles away

I have eyes to see with
And yet when we’re apart
I close my eyes
And see with my heart.
