I Only have eyes for you – This has got to one of my favorite songs when I was a kid. I was such a nerdy kid. Had a crush on this girl in the first grade who only listened to the oldies station B101 – Providence (i think they’ve changed their format since, I’ts been years since I’ve been in Providence.) Growing up thats all I ever listened to. Could also why they called me ‘old man’ in junior high.
Anyway – I enjoy Doo Wop and Motown a lot. Always have, Always will. So I’m sharing this great track with you tonight, on Bataan Day. Anniversary of the Bataan Death March. I’m sure the many who died had missed their sweet hearts while being marched on down from San Fernando to Bataan. May God Bless their souls.
My love must be a kind of blind love
I can’t see anyone but you.
Are the stars out tonight?
I don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright
I Only Have Eyes For You, Dear.
The moon maybe 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.
