(male voice)
|
Well, Green Eyes with their soft lights,
|
Your eyes that promise sweet nights,
|
Bring to my soul a longing, a thirst for love divine.
|
In dreams I seem to hold you, to find you and enfold you,
|
Our lips meet and our hearts, too, with a thrill so sublime.
|
|
Those cool and limpid Green Eyes -
|
A pool wherein my love lies.
|
So deep that in my searching for happiness
|
I fear that they will ever haunt me,
|
All through my life they'll taunt me.
|
But will they ever want me?
|
Green Eyes, make my dreams come true.
|
|
(Female voice)
|
Well, Green Eyes with the soft lights,
|
And eyes that promise sweet nights,
|
Bring to my soul a longing, a thirst for love divine.
|
In dreams I seem to hold you, to find you and enfold you,
|
Our lips meet and our hearts, too, with a thrill so sublime.
|
|
Those cool and limpid Green Eyes -
|
A pool wherein my love lies.
|
So deep that in my searching for happiness
|
I fear that they will ever haunt me,
|
All through my life they'll taunt me.
|
But will they ever want me?
|
Green Eyes, I love you.
