EYES
Hajime Mizoguchi The Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus Lyrics

Life is slow but it seems exciting
Even though life may seem slow-paced, it feels exciting because of the presence of Buddy.

'Cause Buddy's there
The exciting feeling is because of Buddy's presence.

Gourmet cooking and letter writing
I enjoy cooking delicious food and writing letters to loved ones.

And knowing Buddy's there
The knowledge that Buddy is present makes those activities even more enjoyable.

Every morning don't faint
Every morning, I take care of my flowers and plants.

I tend the flowers
I take care of my flowers and plants every day.

Can you believe it?
I can hardly believe how much I enjoy tending to my flowers every day.

Every weekend, I paint
Every weekend, I spend hours painting.

For umpteen hours
I spend many hours painting every weekend.

And, yes, I miss a lot
Although my life is enjoyable, there are things I miss out on.

Living like a shut-in
I live like a recluse and don't get out much.

No, I haven't got
I don't have many material possessions.

Cooks and cars and diamonds
I don't have luxury items like expensive cars or jewelry.

Yes, my clothes are not
My clothes may not be fashionable or expensive.

Paris fashions, but in
I may not have access to the latest Paris fashions, but in Buddy's eyes, I'm still beautiful.

Buddy's eyes
The way Buddy sees me is important and valuable.

I'm young, I'm beautiful
To Buddy, I am always young and beautiful.

In Buddy's eyes
The way Buddy sees me is a positive and uplifting force in my life.

I don't get older
Even though I age, to Buddy, I will always be young and beautiful to him.

So life is ducky
Life is good and enjoyable.

And time goes flying
Time seems to pass quickly when spending time with Buddy.

And I'm so lucky
I feel fortunate and grateful for Buddy's presence in my life.

I feel like crying
The happiness and joy that Buddy brings me is overwhelming and makes me emotional.

I'm still the princess
To Buddy, I am still the important and special person he has always known me to be.

Still the prize
To Buddy, I am still the precious and valuable prize he has always treasured.

In Buddy's arms
Being held by Buddy brings comfort and love into my life.

On Buddy's shoulder
Buddy provides support and strength when I need it.

I won't get older
To Buddy, I will always remain young and beautiful.

Nothing dies
The love and affection that Buddy and I share will never fade or disappear.

And all I ever dreamed I'd be
Everything I have ever wanted to be or achieve in my life.

The best I ever thought of me
The greatest version of myself that I can imagine.

Is every minute there to see
All those dreams and aspirations are present and possible in every moment that I spend with Buddy.

In Buddy's eyes
It is Buddy's perception and admiration of me that makes those dreams and aspirations feel possible.
