Something in your eyes

Something in your eyes

Defies all observation

Why do you look around

With haunted concentration?

 

I just cannot read

The message of your eyes

Please do answer

My what’s and my why’s

 

What’s the hidden truth

Has someone been uncouth?

Why don’t you tell

Then all may be well

 

There’s a look in your eyes

That you just can’t disguise

But being quite wise

You don’t resort to lies

 

And yet you still

Do not answer my question

I am still worried

With a vague sensation

 

Whey don’t you look up

And let your eyes meet mine

A doubt will be cleared

And the result will be fine

 

Something in your eyes

Defies observation

But I shall pry on

With great determination

 

I shall soon find the reason

Of that very curious look

And though you don’t know it -

I know you like a book

 

Yes, something’s in your eyes

Which are always clear and bright

Yet which are now

Both filled with dread and fright
