I Only Have Eyes For You
Dr. Nick Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics to Dr. Nick Moore's song "I Only Have Eyes For You" express the intensity and singularity of the singer's love for their partner. Their love is so strong that they can't see anyone else but their significant other, and they can't even tell if the stars are out or if the moon is high because their attention is so completely focused on their loved one. The imagery used in the lyrics is evocative, with the garden and crowded avenue representing the possibility of other distractions or people vying for their attention, but ultimately the singer's focus remains on their special person.
The use of "sha bop sha bop" in between the lyrics adds a playful and romantic tone to the song. The repetition of "I only have eyes for you" throughout the song serves as a refrain, emphasizing the intense attention and commitment that the singer has for their loved one.

Even though beautiful things surround us, my devotion to you blinds me to everything else.

Even with millions of people in the world, they all fade away when you're around – my entire world revolves around you.
