Your Eyes Have It Tonight

Frankly I'm hoping y'all are pretty much hung over, preoccupied, or otherwise semi-oblivious and I can sneak this attempted song past without too much fuss.

The lyrics to this song have as much intellectual depth as the protagonist -- a petty con man trying to take advantage of a gullible woman -- has moral depth.

What, you might ask yourself, does a self-respecting songwriter do when he finds that the nasty little bit of nonsense he hoped he could turn into something of redeeming lyrical value ends up being a nasty song-length bit of nonsense?

Well, I can't answer for self-respecting songwriters, but I usually find myself hoping for a Killer Riff... which, all too often -- as here -- never comes.

Your Eyes Have It Tonight

I never felt like this ever before
well maybe just once or twice
I guess that it's Love I can alaways tell
the answer is always in the eyes

Your eyes have it tonight
they glow like the stars above
your eyes have it tonight
Tonight I guess we're in Love

I been around the world five or six times
I never saw nothing like you
All those places all those faces
It took all this time to get to you

Your eyes have it tonight...

I just got back from the Orient
I was doin a job for some friends
my letter of credit's hung up -- I aint got no dough
but at least in you, I got a freind

Your eyes have it tonight...

Let me stay with you for a couple of days
I swear I won't get in the way
I got some business -- collect on a couple of debts
and then I'll be on my way

Your eyes have it tonight
they glow like the stars above
your eyes have it tonight
Tonight I guess we're in Love
