MY JEALOUS EYES
(Mack David / Martita)
as recorded by Patti Page
with Jack Rael & his Orchestra
1957
My jealous eyes, what have you seen?
Why are you turning from blue to green?
My lover's arms
Hold other charms,
But they're just dancing!
My jealous eyes, you mustn't grieve,
Just tell my heart that it must believe.
He holds her tight,
But that's alright,
They're only dancing!
What are they saying
While they are swaying?
Oh, can it be
He's tired of me?
My jealous eyes, the dance is through,
Now you can turn back from green to blue.
It's fine again,
He's mine again,
And he still loves me!
My jealous eyes, you mustn't grieve,
Just tell my heart that it must believe.
He holds her tight,
But that's alright,
They're only dancing!
What are they saying
While they are swaying?
Oh, can it be
He's tired of me?
My jealous eyes, the dance is through,
Now you can turn back from green to blue.
It's fine again,
He's mine again,
And he still loves me,
And he still loves me!
