Lyrics
1. If you love me why don’t you tell me so?
What’s the use of always saying “no?”
For now and then your secret I surmise
When I look in your eyes
Chorus:
Bright eyes, I know you so well
Bright eyes, what secrets you tell
I can’t believe a word you say
Your eyes are traitors, they give you away
Bright eyes, they give me a thrill
Bright eyes, just say what you will
There is a meaning you cannot disguise
In your bright eyes
2. I’ve often wondered if you really knew
All your laughing eyes tell me of you
You might as well confess and name the day
If they mean all they say
