DON'T LET YOUR EYES GO SHOPPING FOR YOUR HEART
Austin / Smith

as rec by Nat "King" Cole w Nelson Riddle & his Orch  1952


Don't let your eyes go shopping for your heart,
They only see the things that are in view!
A cover doesn't make a book a work of art,
To know its worth you've got to read it through and through!

You must realise
That rule also applies
To romance when you seek a mate that's true!
Beware of love at sight,
Take your time, make sure it's right,
Don't let your eyes go shopping for your heart!

Don't let your eyes go shopping for your heart,
They only see the things that are in view!
A cover doesn't make a book a work of art,
To know its worth you've got to read it through and through!

You must realise
That rule also applies
To romance when you seek a mate that's true!
Beware of love at sight,
Take your time, make sure it's right,
Don't let your eyes go shopping for your heart,
Don't let your eyes go shopping for your heart!
