Skeeter Davis - Guess My Eyes Were Bigger Than My Heart Lyrics

Skeeter Davis Lyrics

"Guess My Eyes Were Bigger Than My Heart"

[Verse 1]
I saw him and told myself he was my dream come true
I let my eyes deceive me from the start
They told me I wanted him more than I wanted you
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart

[Chorus]
Wasn't I the foolish one
Lord above, what have I done
For his love I tore our world apart
Now he's here but it's no good
I don't care the way I should
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart

[Verse 2]
I allowed these eyes of mine to lead me into sin
And I thought that I would love him true
Now he stands out in the cold, my heart won't let him in
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart

[Chorus]
Wasn't I the foolish one
Lord above, what have I done
For his love I tore our world apart
Now he's here but it's no good
I don't care the way I should
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart
