The Flamingos Best of Flamingos Lyrics
1.I Only Have Eyes For You

Lyricist:Al Dubin, Harry Warren

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

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
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you


2.I'll Be Home

I'll be home, my darling
Please wait for me
(Wait for me)
We'll stroll along together
Once more our love will be free

At the corner drugstore
Each Saturday we would meet
(We would meet)
I'd walk you home in the moonlight
All of these things we'll repeat

So darling, as I write this letter
Here's hoping you're thinking of me
My time's about up
So long until I'll be home to start serving you

I'll be home, my darling
Please wait for me
(Wait for me)
We'll stroll along together
All of these things we'll repeat

So, darling, as I write this letter
Here's hoping, here's hoping you're thinking of me
Because my time's about up, doll
So long until I'll be home to start serving you

I'll be home, my darling
Please wait for me
(Wait for me)
We'll stroll along together
Once more our love will be free


3.Mio Amore

Mio amore
Take my lips and a kiss them
Take my love
Take my hands and hold them
I am yours my love
Till the end of time

Mio amore
Take my arms let them hold you
Take my love
Take my eyes let them show you
I am yours my love
Till the end of time

Whoo, till the end, till the end
Till the end, till the end of time
Oh my love, oh my love, can't you see?
Woo, our love was meant to be
Oh my love, oh my love
You were meant for me

Mio amore
Take my heart and my soul
Take my love
Our love will never run cold
I am yours my love, till the end of time

Whoo, till the end
Till the end of time, of time


4.Jump Children

For in this world they have no voice
They have no choice
Bless the beasts and the children
For the world can never be
The world they see
Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them
Give them love
Let it shine all around them
Bless the beasts and the children
Give them shelter from a storm
Keep them safe
Keep them warm
Repeat
Repeat


5.If I Can't Have You

I still can't believe it, I can't see it
I should just stop counting days
On the subject of the future
Wouldn't it be nice to leave it open-ended
And pretend it could go either way?
If I could have you back again
I'd think about it once or twice, I guess
If I could have you back
I'd reconsider, maybe I'd say, yes
On the other hand it would be
Better to have a life
Without the constant indecision over
If I could have you back, if I could have you back
On the topic of the time we spent together
I can't say I never wondered
If you ever think about these days
If I could have you back again
I'd think about it once or twice, I guess
If I could have you back
I'd reconsider, maybe I'd say, yes
On the other hand it would be
Better to have a life
Without the constant indecision over
If I could have you back
It's game over, you've lost this round
And now I get to turn you down
Thanks for all the lessons learned
I'm taking in what I have heard
Practice makes perfect
If I could have you back again
I'd think about it once or twice, I guess
If I could have you back
I'd reconsider, maybe I'd say, yes
On the other hand it would be
Better to have a life
Without the constant indecision
If I could have you back again
I'd think about it once or twice, I guess
If I could have you back
I'd reconsider, maybe I'd say yes
On the other hand it would be
Better to have a life
Without the constant indecision over
If I could have you back, if I could have you back
I still can't believe it, I can't see it
I should just stop counting days


6.Golden Teardrops

And the whiskey was free
If that ol' car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every night 'neath the honky tonk lights
Didn't start those memories
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like me
How long can a girl keep goin'
Like every day's the last
I've paid off the rent and the government
Maybe I could pay off the past
If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that ol' car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every night 'neath the honky tonk lights
Didn't start those memories
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like me
Wouldn't I be on easy street
Livin' this life of mine
I could keep right on till the hurt's all gone
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that ol' car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every night 'neath the honky tonk lights
Didn't start those memories
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like me
If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
And the whiskey was free
If that ol' car in the parking lot
