Green Eyes Lyrics

[Verse: Bob Eberly]
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 dream come true

[Verse: Helen O'Connell]
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
