It's hard enough to hear you   Express your sympathy   But it's harder still to feel the things   My eyes refuse to see      Oh, my lovin' eyes   When you look upon them, darlin', like you do   You bring these tears into   My lovin' eyes      I watch you take my self-respect   Accepting each excuse   When I've never seen the reason   For your moods or your abuse      Oh, my lovin' eyes   They hold you like the heavens hold the sun   But look what you've done to   My lovin' eyes      Like a man whose way is righteous   His faith in life resigned   I'm a child whose eyes are sightless   And my faith in you is truly blind      It's sad to think of living   As pain that we must feel   But it's sadder still to think of love   As something you conceal      Oh, my lovin' eyes   When you look upon them, darlin', like you do   You bring these tears into   My lovin' eyes
