I Only Have Eyes For You
The Complexions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you
Sha bop sha bop
Sha bop sha bop
Sha bop sha bop
Sha bop sha bop
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
Sha bop sha bop

The moon may be high
Sha bop sha bop
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
Sha bop sha bop

You are here
Sha bop sha bop
And so am I
Sha bop sha bop

Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you

Sha bop sha bop
Sha bop sha bop
Sha bop sha bop




Sha bop sha bop
Sha bop sha bop

Line by Line Meaning

My love must be a kind of blind love
My feelings for you are so strong that I am unable to see anyone else


I can't see anyone but you
You are the only person that I am focused on


Are the stars out tonight
I am curious if the stars are visible in the sky


I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I am unaware if it's cloudy or bright, as my attention is solely on you


I only have eyes for you dear
My undivided attention is on you, and nobody else


The moon may be high
Even if the moon is high in the sky, I cannot see it as I am too focused on you


But I can't see a thing in the sky
My attention is completely fixated on you, so I am unable to notice anything else


I don't know if we're in a garden
I am uncertain of our surroundings, as my attention is entirely on you


Or on a crowded avenue
It does not matter where we are, as my focus remains solely on you


You are here
The fact that you are present is all that matters


And so am I
I am present with you, and only have eyes for you


Maybe millions of people go by
Despite the many people that pass us by, I am unaware and unable to notice them, as my attention remains solely on you


But they all disappear from view
The presence of others around us does not matter, as they are all unimportant in comparison to you


And I only have eyes for you
I am solely focused on you, and nobody else

I kept hearing my father's voice in my head. "Don't blow it, son. These people will hurt you son. Don't waste your talent son."
Then I kept hearing Sonny's voice. "Be careful, C. Don't lose it C. Keep your head C."
