Guess My Eyes Were Bigger Than My Heart

Conway Twitty · Conway Twitty Sings [Decca] [1965]

(Liz Anderson)



I saw her and told myself she was my dream come true

Let my eyes decieve me from the start

They told me I wanted her more than I wanted you

Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart.



Wasn't I the foolish one, Lord above, what have I done

For her love I tore our world apart

Now she's here but it's no good, I don't care the way I should

Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart.



I allowed these eyes of mine to lead me into sin

Made me think that I could love her true

Now she stands out in the cold my heart won't let her in

There was only room enough for you.



Wasn't I the foolish one, Lord above, what have I done

For her love I tore our world apart

Now she's here but it's no good, I don't care the way I should

Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart...
