Eyes Like Mine
Sylvia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You feel like it's real this new love you found
Does she have eyes like mine?
This new chance at a romance got you upside down
Does she have eyes like mine?

Just remember it was up to you
Who decided you could live without my baby blues
It'd be a long, long time
Till you see eyes like mine

Well, I waited up and I've taken up for you one last time
Does she have eyes like mine?
If you can't see that you need me then you must be blind
Does she have eyes like mine?

No, it's not misguided to blame yourself
So don't try and lay the blame on someone else
It'd be a long, long time
Till you see eyes like mine

Eyes like mine, eyes like mine
You'll be a long, long time
Till you see eyes like mine

Eyes like mine, eyes like mine
Eyes like mine, eyes like mine

Just remember it was up to you
Who decided you could live without my baby blues
It'd be a long, long time
Till you see eyes like mine

Eyes like mine, eyes like mine
You'll be a long, long time
Till you see eyes like mine

Eyes like mine, eyes like mine
You'll be a long, long time
Till you see eyes like mine





Eyes like mine, eyes

Overall Meaning

like mine


In Sylvia's song "Eyes Like Mine," she sings about a past love who has moved on to a new relationship. She questions whether the new woman in his life has eyes like hers, implying that no one can replace her completely. She reminds him that he made the choice to end their relationship and live without her "baby blues," but she believes it will be a long time until he finds someone with the same captivating eyes. Sylvia also states that she has tried to defend him in the past, but if he cannot see that he needs her, then he must be blind.


The song is a powerful message about the unique and irreplaceable qualities that one person can bring to a relationship. Sylvia's focus on the eyes as a defining feature, which metaphorically represent a deep connection and understanding between two people, emphasizes the idea that no one can truly replace another person who has been a significant part of their life.
