Star eyes, that to me is what your eyes are
Soft as stars in April skies are
Tell me someday you’ll fulfill
Their promise of a thrill
Star eyes, flashing eyes in which my hopes rise
Let me show you where my heart lies
Let me prove that it adores
That lovingness of yours
All my life I felt content
To stargaze at the skies
Now I only want to melt
The stardust in your eyes
Star eyes, when if ever will my lips know
If it’s me for whom those eyes glow
Makes no difference where you are
Your eyes still hold my wishing star
Oh, star eyes, how lovely you are
All my life I felt content
To stargaze at the skies
Now
