Star Eyes - Lou Donaldson, Jimmy Smith

Star eyes

That to me is what your eyes are

Soft as stars in April skies are

Tell me some day you’ll fulfill

Their promise of a thrill

Star eyes

Flashing eyes in which my hopes rise

Let me show you where my heart lies

Let me prove that it adores

That loveliness of yours

All my life I’ve felt

Content to stargaze at the skies

Now I only want to to melt

The stardust in your eyes

Star eyes

When if ever, will my lips know

If it’s me for whom those eyes glow?

Makes no diff’rence where you are

Your eyes still hold my wishing star

Oh, star eyes, how lovely you are
