In the Eye Abides the Heart Songtext

von Beth Nielsen Chapman

In the eyes abides the heart
Every pure and tender feeling
All emotions worth revealing
Trough the eyes their charm impart.
Words are often clothed in guile
For the lips with fear may falter
E'en confiding smilrd may alter
Oh! believe not in a smile
'tis the eye unveils the heart.
Every pure and tender feeling
All emotions worth revealing
To the eyes their glow impart.
If the bosom heaves a sigh
For a fair and cherished maiden
Trough her voice with love be laden
Mark the language of her eye
There each impulse of her soul
Beams for three in truth and candor
There her secret passions wander
There remain beyond control.
'tis the eye unveils the heart.
Every pure and tender feeling
All emotions worth revealing
To the eyes their glow impart.
