I Only Have Eyes for You
Fausto Papetti 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
In Fausto Papetti's song "I Only Have Eyes for You," the lyrics explore a strong and intense love for someone that goes beyond the physical realm. The singer describes their love as a kind of blind love, signifying that their affection transcends any superficialities and allows them to see only the object of their love. They are completely focused on this person and can't see anyone else, emphasizing the depth and exclusivity of their emotions.
The lyrics go on to reflect the singer's obliviousness to the external world. Whether the stars are shining brightly or there are clouds obstructing the view, it doesn't matter because their attention is solely directed towards the person they love. Even the moon, which may be high up in the sky, holds no significance as their infatuation renders everything else insignificant.
The final stanza exhibits the singer's complete absorption in their love. They express uncertainty about their physical surroundings, whether they are in a garden or on a crowded street. However, it becomes evident that it doesn't matter where they are as long as they are with their beloved. They acknowledge the presence of other people passing by, but none of them hold any importance as they all vanish from view, leaving only the person they love occupying their thoughts and vision.
Line by Line Meaning
My love must be a kind of blind love
The love I feel for you is so intense that it blinds me to anyone else
I can't see anyone but you
You are the only person who captures my attention and affection
Sha bop sha bop
An expression of joyful emotion and enchantment
Are the stars out tonight
I wonder if the stars are visible in the night sky
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I have no awareness of the weather conditions, be it cloudy or clear
I only have eyes for you dear
My complete focus and adoration are solely directed towards you, my beloved
The moon may be high
Although the moon may be in the sky
But I can't see a thing in the sky
I am so absorbed in my love for you that I fail to notice anything else, even the moon
I only have eyes for you
My attention is exclusively fixed on you, and nothing else matters
I don't know if we're in a garden
I am unaware of the surroundings, whether we are in a peaceful garden or a bustling street
Or on a crowded avenue
Possibly, we could be in a busy street filled with people
You are here and so am I
Both you and I are present in this moment
Maybe millions of people go by
Countless individuals may pass us by
But they all disappear from view
However, they all fade into insignificance as they do not capture my attention like you do
And I only have eyes for you
My gaze, my affection, and my heart are completely fixated on you
