Artist/Band: Sathima Bea Benjamin
Lyrics for Song: I Only Have Eyes For You
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Sathima Bea Benjamin



My love must be a kind of blind love


I can't see anyone but you


Sha bop sha bop





Are the stars out tonight


I don't know if it's cloudy or bright


I only have eyes for you dear





The moon may be high


But I can't see a thing in the sky


I only have eyes for you





I don't know if we're in a garden


Or on a crowded avenue





You are here and so am I


Maybe millions of people go by


But they all disappear from view


And I only have eyes for you
