English lyric:

Verse 1:

My love must be a kind of blind love,
I can't see anyone but you.
And, dear, I wonder if you find love
An optical illusion too?

Chorus:

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright,
'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear.
The moon may be high,
But I can't see a thing in the sky,
'Cause I only have eyes for you.
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue.
You are here, so am I,
Maybe millions of people go by,
But they all disappear from view,
And I only have eyes for you.

Verse 2 (from British sheet music):

I know the thrill of nature's wonders,
I know they're lurking ev'rywhere;
I'm sure I'm making many blunders
By passing up these wonders rare.

[Chorus]


Spanish lyric:

"Sólo Tengo Ojos Para Ti"

Verse:

Bajo la luz de las estrellas,
Pura de_amor vienes a mí.
Y por mirar tus gracias bellas,
Sólo tengo_ojos para tí;

Chorus:

Un amor te daré
Que tu vida por él vibrará
Encendida de luz y fé.
Un amor te daré
Un amor como nunca sentí,
Un amor como no soñé.
Bajo la luz de tu cariño,
Sólo tengo_ojos para tí.
Un divino fulgor
En mis ojos se cruza sutil,
Y_al calor de tu luz, gentil;
Sólo vivo por tí, amor.
