Lyrics
EYES OF LOVE
[Doo Wop]
(Lyrics by Joe Cyr, Music by Teresa OConnell)
Eyes of Love
observe not tousled hair
Eyes of Love
behold Splendor there
Eyes of Love
see not imperfect face
Eyes of Love
view Beauty everyplace
Eyes of Love
judge not complexion
Eyes of Love
ignore imperfection
Eyes of Love
notice neither fault nor age
Eyes of Love
can years assuage
Eyes of Love
inadequacy smothers
Eyes of Love
are like those of Mothers
Eyes of Love
weep in face of dementia
Seeing echoed Love
reside in absentia
Eyes of Love
as old age goes blind
View erstwhile Love
in Eyes of mind
