I Only Have Eyes For You

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
Cause I only have eyes for you dear

The moon may be high
but I can't see a thing in the sky
Cause I only have eyes for you

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or in a crowded avenue

You are here so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view





And I only have eyes for you

Overall Meaning

The song I Only Have Eyes For You, sung by Code Red, speaks about a love that is so strong it almost blinds the singer. They cannot see anyone else in this world but their significant other. The lines "My love must be a kind of blind love, I can't see anyone but you" highlight how overpowering this love is, and how it has cast a spell on the singer.


The lyrics then go on to question if the stars are out tonight or if the sky is overcast, as the singer cannot see past their love for the person they are dedicated to. They mention how even though the moon may be shining bright, they cannot see anything in the sky except for the person they are in love with.


It doesn't matter if they are walking in a garden or a crowded avenue because the singer is so consumed by their love that everything else fades away. Even though millions of people may pass them by, they disappear from the view of the singer because they only have eyes for their beloved. This song speaks to the idea of a love so strong that it makes everything else in the world fade away, leaving just the two individuals to bask in the love they share.
