Bob Eberly:
Well, Green Eyes with their soft lights
Your eyes that promise sweet nights
Bring to my soul a longing, a thirst for love divine
In dreams I seem to hold you, to find you and enfold you
Our lips meet and our hearts, too, with a thrill so sublime

Those cool and limpid Green Eyes
A pool wherein my love lies
So deep that in my searching for happiness - I fear
That they will ever hold me
All through my life they'll taunt me
But will they ever want me
Green Eyes, make my dreams come true

[Bridge]

Helen O'Connell:
Soft lights, and eyes that promise sweet nights
Bring to my soul a longing, a thirst for love divine
In dreams I seem to hold you, to find you and enfold you
Our lips meet and our hearts, too, with a thrill so sublime

Those cool and limpid Green Eyes
A pool wherein my love lies
So deep that in my searching for happiness - I fear
That they will ever haunt me
All through my life they'll taunt me
But will they ever want me
Green Eyes, I love you
