It's hard enough to hear you Express your sympathy But it's harder still to feel the things My eyes refuse to see Oh, my lovin' eyes When you look upon them, darlin', like you do You bring these tears into My lovin' eyes I watch you take my self-respect Accepting each excuse When I've never seen the reason For your moods or your abuse Oh, my lovin' eyes They hold you like the heavens hold the sun But look what you've done to My lovin' eyes Like a man whose way is righteous His faith in life resigned I'm a child whose eyes are sightless And my faith in you is truly blind It's sad to think of living As pain that we must feel But it's sadder still to think of love As something you conceal Oh, my lovin' eyes When you look upon them, darlin', like you do You bring these tears into My lovin' eyes
