I Only Have Eyes for You
Captivated by Love: I Only Have Eyes for You
Lyrics
Are the stars out tonight
Asking about the visibility of stars in the sky tonight
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
Uncertainty about whether the weather is cloudy or clear
I only have eyes for you, dear
Expressing exclusive affection, indicating focus only on the addressed person
The moon may be high
Noting the possibility of a high moon but unable to see due to singular focus
But I can't see a thing in the starry sky
Inability to perceive anything else in the star-filled sky due to intense focus on the addressed person
I only have eyes for you
Reiterating exclusive attention and affection for the addressed person
I don't know if we're in a garden
Uncertainty about the surroundings, whether in a serene garden or amidst a bustling street
Or on a crowded avenue
Reflecting the ambiguity of the location
You are here, so am I
Acknowledging the presence of both the singer and the addressed person
Maybe millions of people go by
Suggesting the passage of numerous people around, but they become inconsequential due to the focus on the addressed person
But they all disappear from view.
Emphasizing the insignificance of others as they fade away from the singer's view
And I only have eyes for you.
Reiterating the exclusive attention and affection for the addressed person
My love must be a kind of blind love
Describing the love as blind, indicating an intense focus on the addressed person
I can't see anyone but you
Expressing an inability to see anyone else due to the overwhelming focus on the addressed person
I don't, I don't know, I don't know, are we in a garden
Repeating uncertainty about the location
Or on a crowded avenue.
Continuing to emphasize the ambiguity of the surroundings
You are here baby, so am I
Acknowledging the presence of both the singer and the addressed person again
Maybe millions of people
Referencing the passing of numerous people
They just pass us by
Despite the passing of people, they become unnoticeable due to the intense focus on the addressed person
But they all disappear from view, oh baby don't you know
Reiterating the fading significance of others due to exclusive attention on the addressed person
And I only have eyes for you.
Restating exclusive attention and affection for the addressed person
Blind am I, I must be
Expressing metaphorical blindness due to an overwhelming focus on the addressed person
Of all the girls only you I see.
Highlighting the singular focus on the addressed person amidst many others
