I Only Have Eyes For You
Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy Lyrics

My love must be a kind of blind love
My love for you is so strong that it blinds me to the presence of anyone else.

I can't see anyone but you
You are the only one I see and focus on, and nobody else matters to me.

Sha bop sha bop
A nonsensical phrase used to add rhythm and emphasis to the previous line.

Are the stars out tonight
I am not sure if it's a clear night or not, but I am too preoccupied with you to care about the weather.

I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I am so captivated by you that I don't pay attention to anything else around me, including the weather.

I only have eyes for you dear
You alone are the center of my attention, and I cannot take my eyes off you for a moment.

The moon may be high
Even if the moon is shining brightly, it doesn't compare to the brightness you bring to my life.

But I can't see a thing in the sky
My eyes only see you, and nothing else in the world matters to me in comparison.

I don't know if we're in a garden
My focus on you is so intense that I don't notice or care about our surroundings, whether we're in a quiet garden or a busy city street.

Or on a crowded avenue
Even if we're on a busy street surrounded by people, I am completely focused on only you, and everyone else fades into the background.

You are here and so am I
We are here together, and nothing else seems to matter or exist in my world at this moment.

Maybe millions of people go by
Even if millions of people were to walk past us, they would all fade away in comparison to your beauty and presence.

But they all disappear from view
My absolute focus on you makes everyone else in the world disappear from my view, and only you remain in my sight and mind.

And I only have eyes for you
My love for you is all-consuming, and you are the only one I care about or see in the entire world.
