Green Eyes

English lyric by L. Wolfe Gilbert

Your green eyes with the soft lights, your eyes that promise sweet nights,
Bring to my soul a longing of thirst for loves 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 feel that they will ever haunt me,
All through my life they'll taunt me, but will they ever want me, green eyes,
Make my dream come true.
