MY SWEETHEART'S EYES, by CHARLES LOUIS HENRY WAGNER
First Line: Beautiful, laughing eyes of brown
Last Line: Ever my own eternally.
Subject(s): Eyes
First Line: Beautiful, laughing eyes of brown
Last Line: Ever my own eternally.
Subject(s): Eyes
Beautiful, laughing eyes of brown,
Filling my soul with ecstasy,
Truly my sweetheart's regal crown,
Rivaling the gentle euphrasy.
Softly they search me through and through,
Asking this question earnestly,
Tell me, fond heart, art thou still true,
Dost thou still love me fervently?
Beautiful, laughing eyes of brown,
Thy seemly beauties are to me
E'en when in sorrow looking down
More glorious than the deep blue sea.
Deeper in love than ocean's deep,
Captive they hold me, still I'm free
To live in love which I can keep
Ever my own eternally.
