Lyrics: Canât Take My Eyes Off You
Youâre just too good to be true
Canât take my eyes off you
Youâd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God Iâm alive
Youâre just too good to be true
Canât take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that I stare
Thereâs nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that itâs real
Youâre just too good to be true
Canât take my eyes off you
I love you, baby
And if itâs quite alright, I need you, baby
To warm a lonely night, I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Donât bring me down, I pray, oh pretty baby
Now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
Youâre just too good to be true
Canât take my eyes off you
Youâd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God Iâm alive
Youâre just too good to be true
Canât take my eyes off you
I love you, baby
And if itâs quite alright I need you, baby
To warm a lonely night, I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Donât bring me down, I pray, oh pretty baby
Now that I found you, stay, oh pretty baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
