Only Have Eyes
Capturing Love's Gaze: Pete Droge's 'Only Have Eyes' Meaning
Lyrics
You showed me the sunrise
You introduced me to new beginnings and opportunities
Mountains and the tree tops too
Explored nature together, including mountains and trees
You told me to watch and wait for colors to change
Advised me to observe and be patient for changes in the surroundings
But babe I only have eyes
Expressing a singular focus on the person, emphasizing devotion
I only have eyes for you
Reiterating exclusive attention and affection for the mentioned person
You took me out walking
Took me to places I had never experienced before
Places I'd never been
Explored unfamiliar locations together
You showed a stream that only runs when it rains
Showed a unique phenomenon, a stream that flows only during rainfall
But babe I only have eyes
Emphasizing exclusive emotional attachment and focus
I only have eyes for you
Reiterating unwavering attention and love for the person
I only have eyes
Emphasizing exclusive focus on the mentioned person
I only have eyes for you
Reiterating intense emotional attachment and dedication
I know there must be something going on
Awareness of a potential underlying situation or change
Must be a reason that you're pulling me along
Suspecting there is a specific reason for being guided or influenced
I bet you're right and there's a great big world outside
Acknowledging the likelihood of a vast world beyond the current experience
You sat me in the meadow
Placed in a peaceful setting, possibly symbolizing tranquility
Over where the grass is high
Directed to a location with tall grass, indicating a natural and serene environment
You pointed the way to where the flowers were blooming
Guidance toward the beauty of blooming flowers
But I only have eyes
Repeating exclusive affection for the mentioned person
I only have eyes for you
Reiterating intense emotional attachment and focus on the person
You led me to the water
Guided to water, symbolizing life and fluidity
Handed me a crystal glass
Offered a crystal glass, possibly representing clarity and purity
And then you raised a toast that all this beauty would last
A toast to the enduring beauty of the shared experiences
But babe I only have eyes
Reiterating exclusive attention and love for the person
I only have eyes for you
Emphasizing unwavering focus on the mentioned person
I only have eyes
Repeating intense emotional attachment and dedication
I only have eyes for you
Affirming exclusive love and attention for the person
I know there must be something going on
Awareness of a potential underlying situation or change
Must be a reason that you're pulling me along
Suspecting there is a specific reason for being guided or influenced
I bet you're right and there's a great big world outside
Acknowledging the likelihood of a vast world beyond the current experience
Aah aah aah
Expressive vocalization, possibly conveying emotion or contemplation
Don't you know that I only have eyes
Emphasizing exclusive focus on the mentioned person
Baby baby I only have eyes
Repeating dedication and focus on the person
Don't you know that I only have eyes for you
Stating exclusive attention and love for the person
I only have eyes
Reiterating intense emotional attachment and dedication
I only have eyes for you
Affirming exclusive love and attention for the person
Don't you know that I only have eyes
Emphasizing unwavering focus on the mentioned person
I only have eyes
Repeating intense emotional attachment and dedication
I only have eyes for you
Affirming exclusive love and attention for the person
