Guess My Eyes Were Bigger Than My Heart

Skeeter Davis · My Hearts in the Country (RCA Victor) [1966]

(Liz Anderson)



I saw him and told myself he was my dream come true

I let my eyes decieve me from the start

They told me I wanted him 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 his love I tore our world apart

Now he'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

And I thought that I could love him true

Now he stands out in the cold my heart won't let him in

Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart.



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

For his love I tore our world apart

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

Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart.



Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart...
