THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES
(Buddy Bernier & Jerry Brainin)

Don't whisper things to me you don't mean,
For words down deep inside can be seen by the night.
The night has a thousand eyes,
And it knows a truthful heart from one that lies.

Though romance may have called in the past,
My love for you will be everlasting and bright,
As bright as the starlit skies,
And this wondrous night that has a thousand eyes.

I've live my life walking through a dream,
For I knew that I would find this moment supreme.
A night of bliss and tender sighs,
And the smiling dawn of a thousand eyes.
The night has a thousand eyes.

[Recorded by Harry Belafonte, 1950.]
