Lyrics
My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you
Are the stars out tonight
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I only have eyes for you dear
I chose this song after hearing it in the movie “A Bronx Tale”. It captures the vibe of the late 50s elegantly. This song has been featured in many TV shows and movies.
The Flamingos have been hailed as being one of the finest and most influential vocal groups in pop and doo wop music history. In 2001, they band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Damn good love song. Just the way the melody and the doo wop backup vocals work with this song make it truly awesome. One of the best love songs of all time, IMO.
Doo wop: a style of small-group vocal harmonizing, commercialized as a type of so-called street singing in the 1950s, in which words and nonsense syllables are chanted in rhythmic harmony to support the stylized melody of the lead singer.
Lyrics
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here
And so am I
If you want your sweetheart to know they are special, give them your energy that they are the only person in the room. When you’re out to dinner do not scroll on your phone, or take phone calls. Do not check out everyone else in the restaurant. Let them know with your words and actions “Nothing else matters but you”.
Lyrics
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
According to Psychology Today, "loyalty" is considered a steadfast commitment to someone or something demonstrating support and faithfulness even during challenging times, often seen as a key pillar in strong relationships.
After sincere, mighty prayer, I found my eternal companion. Our marriage has been miraculous, overcoming many trials. As a result, our love has been refined, reaching amazing levels of intimacy and purity. And, the best is yet to come!
Think about this…
Do you give your sweetheart your undivided attention?
Key Take Aways
Let your sweetheart know, nothing else matters but them
Loyalty is considered a steadfast commitment to someone or something demonstrating support and faithfulness
