The Only Eyes Lyrics - The Honeycutters

If there were a better way 

to learn what I've learned 

so nobody had to pay and no one got hurt 

if there were an easier road 

that wasn't so crooked 

Honey, I hope you know 

I would have took it 

but these are the only eyes that I have for looking at you 

and they've seen some lonely nights with liars and lovers and fools 

but I kept them open, just hoping for someone to make them less blue 

and these are the eyes that followed the telephone wires 

to come home to you

Now I want you to love me 

but I wanna say when 

and I wanna say how much 

I wanna know how it ends 

Cause I've grown so tired of watching the door 

and all of these lines they serve to remind 

I've been here before

Now these are the only eyes that I have for looking at you 

and they may be lonely tonight but they're catching the light and they're telling the truth 

and I kept them open just hoping for someone to make them less blue 

these are the eyes that followed the telephone wires 

to come home to you
