| It’s hard enough to hear you
|
| Express your sympathy
|
| But it’s harder still to feel the things
|
| My eyes refuse to see
|
| Oh, my lovin' eyes
|
| When you look upon them darlin' like you do
|
| You bring these tears into
|
| My lovin' eyes
|
| I watch you take my self respect
|
| Accepting each excuse
|
| When I’ve never seen the reason
|
| For your moods or abuse
|
| Oh, my lovin' eyes
|
| They hold you like the heaven holds the sun
|
| But look what you’ve done to
|
| My lovin' eyes
|
| Like a man whose way is righteous
|
| His faith in life resigned
|
| I’m a child whose eyes are sightless
|
| And my faith in you is truly blind
|
| It’s sad to think of living
|
| As pain that we must feel
|
| But it’s sadder still to think of love
|
| As something you conceal
|
| Oh, my lovin' eyes
|
| When you look upon them darlin' like you do
|
| You bring these tears into
|
| My lovin' eyes |
