YOU OPENED MY EYES
(Walter Kent / Jules Loman / Allan Roberts)


Russ Morgan & His Orch. (vocal: Chick Bullock) - 1935
Al Bowlly (with Ray Noble & His Orch.) - 1935



The night was nothing but an empty thing
Darkness would fill me with sighs
I never knew the beauty night could bring
Until you opened my eyes

I saw the flowers blooming on the hill
Rivers reflecting the skies
But in their loveliness I found no thrill
Until you opened my eyes

My heart was deep in dreamless sleep
And then you touched my hand
It suddenly awakened me
To find a world so grand

Your kiss revealed a thousand wondrous scenes
Each one a lovely surprise
Within your arms I learned what heaven means
Oh, love you opened my eyes
