I Concentrate On You
The Percy Faith Strings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't see anyone but you
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
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
You are here and so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
The Percy Faith Strings’ song I Concentrate On You is a love song that speaks of a deep, singular love that engulfs one’s thoughts, perceptions, and emotions. The verses paint a picture of how the lover's love is so intense that he is blinded by it. The opening lyrics, “My love must be a kind of blind love, I can't see anyone but you,” emphasizes the singer’s perception that his feelings have rendered him focused on one person alone. Having eyes only for one person means that all his attention is fixed permanently, and he is not easily distracted from her.
The chorus is also an example of the focus of the singer's attention solely on his love interest. The lyrics, “Are the stars out tonight? I don't know if it's cloudy or bright, I only have eyes for you, dear,” further reiterate how he is not interested in anything else, like the moon, the stars or passing distractions by other people. The singer beautifully describes the depth of his love with the lines “Maybe millions of people go by, But they all disappear from view and I only have eyes for you.”
Overall, the song conveys a message of how powerful love can be that it can overwhelm everything else and captivate one's thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. The song shows how an experience such as being in love can profoundly transform an individual, highlighting how love is the most significant emotion of all time and can give meaning to our existence.

Cuando empiezo a oir estas músicas instrumentales, me da una sensación de paz en todo momento. Y eso que no nací para ese tiempo. Gracias a esos grandes músicos que nos dejaron una gran legado para los buenos oyentes de esta música que hace falta más que nunca. Gracias Sr. Gustavo Morales por sus colecciones. Desde Caracas - Venezuela.

Ďon Gustavo Morales, escribe Carlos Alvarez Polichi, de Viña del Mar Chile. LE agadezco una vez más, por su gran aporte a través de sus colecciones de música que nos hace pensar en los tiempos de nuestra juventud, con esas armonias orqeustaciones y nos da tranquilidad a los viejos que vivimos esa epoca. ojalá lo escuche la juventut, que no todo es ser un
triufador en la vida y dejar de lado los sentimientos

According to the comments, people associate this with grandparents, old people, etc. I think differently. To me, it's fresh and young. This album has to be one of the most melodic beautiful things I've ever heard.
Don
I'd like to see a return to romantic music like this.
