Ebony Eyes Lyrics - Welch Bob

Well, have you seen that girl in the corner? 

I'd like to take her out of her chains, 

'Cause if I had my way with you baby, 

I wouldn't change in your life today. 

Your eyes got me dreaming. 

Your eyes got me blind. 

Your eyes got me hoping 

That I'll be holding you close to mine. 

Your eyes got me dreaming. 

Your eyes got me blind. 

Your eyes got me hoping 

That I'll be holding you close to mine. 

She was the same as a hundred ladies, 

But when my eyes looked at her I learned 

That she was keeping a secret fire, 

And if I got too close I'd burn. 

So it looked like I had to move slowly 

Just like a cat at night in the trees, 

'Cause I was waiting for her to show me 

The way that she'd like the love to feel. 

Your eyes got me dreaming. 

Your eyes got me blind. 

Your eyes got me hoping 

That I'll be holding you close to mine. 

Your eyes got me dreaming. 

Your eyes got me blind. 

Your eyes got me hoping 

That I'll be holding you close to mine. 

Ebony eyes, ebony eyes. 

Ebony eyes, ebony eyes. 

Your eyes got me dreaming. 

Your eyes got me blind. 

Your eyes got me hoping 

That I'll be holding you close to mine. 

Your eyes got me dreaming. 

Your eyes got me blind. 

Your eyes got me hoping 

That I'll be holding you close to mine. 

Your eyes got me dreaming. 

Your eyes got me blind. 

Your eyes got me hoping 

That I'll be holding you close to mine.
