Don't whisper things to me you don't mean For words deep down inside can be seen by the night The night has a thousand eyes And it knows the truth apart from one that lies The romance may have cooled in the past My love for you will be everlasting and bright As bright as a starlit sky And the wondrous night that has a thousand eyes I've lived my life walking through a dream For I knew that I would find this moment supreme A night of bliss and tender sighs And the smiling down of a thousand eyes A night of bliss and tender sighs And the smiling down of a thousand eyes The night has a thousand eyes
