Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- There’s a wonderful glow in the eyes of youth
As over the crystal she bends
For she’s anxious to know what the eyes of youth
Will see when her journey ends
Chorus:
Gazing in the future
Through the eyes of youth
Wond’ring what awaits
Behind the mystic gates
Will she find a bluebird
When she learns the truth
Or will the years bring sadness and tears
To the eyes of youth
- May the finger of Fate point the crimson way
And guide her to happiness soon
May it open the gate to a perfect day
That ends with a honeymoon
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
