Little girl so young and tender Braids are thrown upon her back In the pages of her book the world is White and black
She is wearing heavy glasses Far from whom she dreamt to be Little one, her father tells her Close your eyes and see
The eyes of love Don't know your name Don't see the color of your skin The eyes of love Don't know where you've been The eyes of love Don't know your age Don't see the lines you try to hide The eyes of love See only what's inside
Little girl has grown and flowered Glasses tiny, in her eyes She can see a lot more clearly Still at night she cries
Never happy with the mirror She will shun all who adore Little one her father tells her Open your door
The eyes of love Don't know your name Don't see the color of your skin The eyes of love Don't know where you've been The eyes of love Don't know your age Don't see the lines you try to hide The eyes of love See only what's inside
