The Eyes Of The World
Composer(s): Jeff Branen - Arthur Lange



Oh it's great to be great and be something in the eyes of the world
you proclaim when a name to the eyes of all the world is unfurled 
Not for me; can't you see I am longing for a land night and day
for a place on the face of this world of ours where we both can hide away

There's a land that is grand! I can see it every night in my dreams 
Over the sea, here to me, comes the fragrance of its flowers, so it seems
Loving time, loving clime, where the roses are in bloom all the while! 
Let us fly, you and I, on our honey moon, to that far enchanted Isle

The eyes of the world, won't you take me from the eyes of the world? 
You know that I want to be, want to be free
take me to a lonely island far over the sea
We can live there alone
We can start a little kingdom of our own, where we can love all the day
far far away, far from the eyes of the world
