My Lovin' Eyes

It's hard enough to hear you

Express your sympathy

But it's harder still to feel the things

My eyes refuse to see

Oh, my lovin' eyes

When you look upon them darlin' like you do

You bring these tears into

My lovin' eyes

I watch you take my self respect

Accepting each excuse

When I've never seen the reason

For your moods or your abuse

Oh my lovin' eyes

They hold you like the heavens hold the sun

But look what you've done to

My lovin' eyes

Like a man whose way is righteous

His faith in life resigned

I'm a child whose eyes are sightless

And my faith in you is truly blind

It's sad to think of living

As pain that we must feel

But it's sadder still to think of love

As something you conceal

Oh my lovin' eyes

When you look upon them darlin' like you do

You bring these tears into

My lovin' eyes

My lovin' eyes

My lovin' eyes

My lovin' eyes
