Reeves Dianne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got my eyes on you,
So best beware where you roam.
I've got my eyes on you,
So don't stray too far from home.

Incidentally,
I've set my spies on you,
I'm checking all you do
From A to Z,
So, darling, just be wise,
Keep your eyes on me.

Incidentally,
I've set my spies on you,
I'm checking all you do
From A to Z,
So, darling, just be wise,




If you're wise,
Keep your eyes on me.

Her talent is so enormous but her delivery is understated, modest and unshowy. A genuine superstar! The guitarist too.

Beautiful duo, singing and playing superb. I wish I could get my L5 CES to sound like that.

Love this version. She's either the Sarah Vaughn or Ella Fitzgerald of our time. Take your pick. Was fortunate to have seen Dianne perform twice.
