WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES
Leslie Bricusse  1967

as rec by Diana Krall  1999 New York


When I look in your eyes,
I see the wisdom of the world in your eyes,
I see the sadness of a thousand goodbyes,
When I look in your eyes.

And it is no surprise
To see the softness of the moon in your eyes,
The gentle sparkle of the stars in your eyes,
When I look in your eyes.

In your eyes
I see the deepness of the sea,
I see the deepness of the love,
The love I feel you feel for me.

Autumn comes, Summer dies,
I see the passing of the years in your eyes,
And when we part there'll be no tears, no goodbyes,
I'll just look into your eyes!

Those eyes, so wise, so warm, so real,
How I love the world your eyes reveal!
