I Only Have Eyes for You
Captivated by Love: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'I Only Have Eyes for You'
Lyrics
Are the stars out tonight?
Questioning if the stars are visible tonight.
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
Uncertain about the weather conditions, whether it's cloudy or clear.
'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear
Expressing exclusive focus on the beloved, suggesting a deep emotional connection.
The moon may be high
Acknowledging the moon's presence, but personal attention is solely on the beloved.
But I can't see a thing in the sky
Despite the moon's brightness, unable to see anything else in the sky due to intense focus on the beloved.
'Cause I only have eyes for you.
Reiterating the exclusive devotion and attention to the beloved.
I don't know if we're in a garden
Uncertain of the surroundings, questioning whether they are in a garden or a crowded avenue.
Or on a crowded avenue
Expressing uncertainty about the location but emphasizing the presence of the beloved.
You are here, so am I
Acknowledging the shared presence of the beloved in the current space.
Maybe millions of people go by
Recognizing the presence of numerous people passing by.
But they all disappear from view
Despite the crowd, all others fade away from focus because of the exclusive attention to the beloved.
Cause I only have eyes for you
Reiterating the theme of exclusive devotion and focus on the beloved.
I don't know if we're in a garden
Similar to lines 8-13, repeating the uncertainty about the surroundings but emphasizing the exclusive focus on the beloved.
Or on a crowded avenue
Reiterating the uncertainty of the location but highlighting the shared presence of the beloved.
You are here, so am I
Reaffirming the shared presence of the beloved in the current space.
Maybe millions of people go by
Recognizing the constant flow of people passing by.
But they all disappear from view
Despite the multitude of people, they all fade from view due to the exclusive attention to the beloved.
Cause I only have eyes for you
Reiterating the central theme of having eyes only for the beloved.
Yeah, I only have eyes for you
Concluding with a strong affirmation of exclusive devotion to the beloved.
