(male voice)
Well, Green Eyes with their soft
lights,
Your eyes that promise sweet nights,
Bring to my soul a longing,
a thirst for love divine.
In dreams I seem to hold you, to find you and
enfold you,
Our lips meet and our hearts, too, with a thrill so
sublime.

Those cool and limpid Green Eyes -
A pool wherein my love
lies.
So deep that in my searching for happiness
I fear that they will
ever haunt me,
All through my life they'll taunt me.
But will they ever
want me?
Green Eyes, make my dreams come true.

(Female
voice)
Well, Green Eyes with the soft lights,
And eyes that promise sweet
nights,
Bring to my soul a longing, a thirst for love divine.
In dreams I
seem to hold you, to find you and enfold you,
Our lips meet and our hearts,
too, with a thrill so sublime.

Those cool and limpid Green Eyes -
A
pool wherein my love lies.
So deep that in my searching for happiness
I
fear that they will ever haunt me,
All through my life they'll taunt
me.
But will they ever want me?
Green Eyes, I love
you.
