I caught a glimpse of heaven above
And deep in my heart I knew it was love
When a certain pair of eyes
Smiled in a certain way

And what happened then it’s easy to guess
It didn’t take long to make me say yes
When a certain pair of eyes
Smiled in a certain way

I was so happy then
But you would sympathise
If you could see me now
I’m all alone and blue
And yet I realise
You were to blame, 
You broke your vow
But though it’s the end I’ll never regret
That wonderful night that I can’t forget
When a certain pair of eyes
Smiled in a certain way

(Short Musical Break)

When a certain pair of eyes
Smiled in a certain way

(Short Musical Break)

When a certain pair of eyes
Smiled in a certain way

I was so happy then
But you would sympathise
If you could see me now
I’m all alone and blue
And yet I realise
You were to blame, 
You broke your vow

But though it’s the end I’ll never regret
That wonderful night that I can’t forget
When a certain pair of eyes
Smiled in a certain way
