lyrics

My love must be a kind of blind love

I can't see anyone but you

(Sha bop sha bop)

(Sha bop sha bop)

(Sha bop sha bop)

(Sha bop sha bop)

(Sha bop sha bop)

 

Are the stars out tonight (sha bop sha bop)

I don't know if it's cloudy or bright (sha bop sha bop)

I only have eyes for you dear

(Sha bop sha bop)

 

The moon may be high

(Sha bop sha bop)

But I can't see (sha bop sha bop) 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

(Sha bop sha bop)

 

You are here

(Sha bop sha bop)

And so am I

(Sha bop sha bop)

 

Maybe millions of people (sha bop sha bop) go by

But they all disappear from view

And I only have eyes for you

 

(Sha bop sha bop)

(Sha bop sha bop)

(Sha bop sha bop)

(Sha bop sha bop)

(Sha bop sha bop)

"I Only Have Eyes for You" is a romantic love song by composer Harry Warren and lyricist Al Dubin, written for the film Dames (1934) where it was introduced by Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler. The song is a jazz standard, and has been covered by numerous musicians. Successful recordings of the song have been made by Ben Selvin (in 1934), Peggy Lee (in 1947), The Lettermen (in 1966), Art Garfunkel (in 1975), The Three Degrees (in 1982), and Rod Stewart (in 2003), among others. Perhaps the best known and most acclaimed version is the "otherworldly" 1959 recording by doo-wop artists The Flamingos, which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2003, and listed as #157 in Rolling Stone magazine's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time (2004).

^{Ferrante & Teicher were a duo of American piano players, known for their light arrangements of familiar classical pieces, movie soundtracks, and show tunes, as well as their signature style of florid, intricate and fast paced piano playing performances.}

^{Arthur Ferrante (September 7, 1921, New York City – September 19, 2009), and Louis Teicher (pronounced as TIE-cher) (August 24, 1924, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania – August 3, 2008) met while studying at the Juilliard School of Music in New York in 1930. Musical prodigies, they began performing as a piano duo while still in school. After graduating, they both joined the Juilliard faculty.}

^{In 1947, they launched a full-time concert career, at first playing nightclubs, then quickly moving up to playing classical music with orchestral backing. Steven Tyler of Aerosmith relates the story that in the 1950s the two students practiced in the home of his grandmother Constance Neidhart Tallarico. Between 1950 and 1980, they were a major American "easy listening" act, and scored four big U.S. hits: "Theme from The Apartment" (Pop #10), "Theme From Exodus" (Pop #2), "Tonight" (Pop #8), and "Midnight Cowboy" (Pop #10). They performed and recorded regularly with pops orchestras popular standards by George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers and others. In 1973, they did the Hollywood Radio Theater theme for the Rod Serling radio drama series, The Zero Hour.}

^{The duo also experimented with prepared pianos, adding paper, sticks, rubber, wood blocks, metal bars, chains, glass, mallets, and other found objects to piano string beds. In this way they were able to produce a variety of bizarre sounds that sometimes resembled percussion instruments, and at other times resulted in special effects that sounded as if they were electronically synthesized.}

^{Both men were initiated as honorary members of Tau Kappa Epsilon at Central State University (now University of Central Oklahoma) while on tour.}

^{Ferrante and Teicher ceased performing in 1989 and retired to Longboat Keyand Siesta Key, respectively, close to each other on the west coast of Florida. They continued to play together occasionally at a local piano store.}

^{CDs of their music, some of it not previously released, have continued to appear.}

^{Louis Teicher died of a heart attack in August 2008, three weeks before his 84th birthday. Arthur Ferrante died of natural causes on September 19, 2009, twelve days after his 88th birthday (he had once said he wanted to live one year for each piano key). Arthur is survived by his wife, Jena; his daughter, Brenda Eberhardt; and two granddaughters.}
