Lyrics I'd Rather Listen to Your Eyes - Al Jolson

Just a glance
At a dance
And in my heart i knew
That if i ever should care
That i would care
For you

Though i heard
Not a word
Your eyes began to say
A lot of things
Your lips have never told me
Through this

Ev′ry time your lips say "No Sir"
I won't listen, I′m too wise
I would rather listen
To your eyes

They have told me lots of things, dear
That your better self denies
So I'd rather listen
To those eyes

There's nothing you could ever say
That could convey
The promise I′ve been waiting for
I look in your eyes
And realise
That they can tell me more

Ev′ry time your lips say "No Sir"
I won't listen, I′m too wise
I would rather listen
To your eyes

They have told me lots of things, dear
That your better self denies
So I'd rather listen
To those eyes

There′s nothing you could ever say
That could convey
The promise I've been waiting for
I look in your eyes
And realise
That they can tell me more

Eyes can be sincere and truthful
Lips can tell a lot of lies
So I′d rather listen
To your eyes
