I Only Have Eyes For You
Captivated Devotion: Rod Stewart's 'I Only Have Eyes For You' Meaning
Lyrics
Are the stars out tonight?
Contemplating the presence of stars in the night sky.
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 affection and attention towards a beloved person.
The moon may be high
Acknowledging the moon's position in the sky.
But I can't see a thing in the sky
Despite the moon being high, unable to see other celestial objects due to intense focus on the beloved.
'Cause I only have eyes for you
Reiterating the exclusive attention and affection for the beloved.
I don't know if we're in a garden
Uncertain about the surroundings, whether in a garden or on a busy street.
Or on a crowded avenue
Uncertain about the location, possibly expressing disinterest in external factors.
You are here, so am I
Acknowledging the presence of the beloved, emphasizing shared existence.
Maybe millions of people go by
Considering the multitude of people passing by.
But they all disappear from view
Despite the crowd, others fade away from attention, leaving only the beloved in focus.
And I only have eyes for you
Reaffirming the exclusive focus on the beloved.
I don't know if we're in a garden
(Repetition of uncertainty regarding the surroundings.)
Or on a crowded avenue
(Repetition of uncertainty about location, emphasizing internal connection over external factors.)
You are here, so am I
(Reiteration of shared existence with the beloved amid a bustling environment.)
Maybe millions of people go by
(Repetition of acknowledging the passing multitude of people.)
But they all disappear from view
(Reiteration of others fading from view, leaving only the beloved in focus.)
And I only have eyes
Reaffirming exclusive attention, emphasizing the singular focus on the beloved.
Yes I only have eyes for you
Emphatically stating the sole focus on the beloved.
For you
Concluding with a strong declaration of exclusive devotion to the beloved.
