Eyes of Youth 1919 Irving Berlin

There's a wonderful glow
in the eyes of youth,
as over the crystal she bends
for she's anxious to know
what the eyes of youth
will see when the journey ends.

Gazing in the future
through the eyes of youth
wond'ring what awaits
behind the mystic gates
will she find a blue bird
when she learns the truth.
Or will the years
bring sadness and tears
to the eyes of youth.

Gazing in the future
through the eyes of youth
wond'ring what awaits
behind the mystic gates
will she find a blue bird
when she learns the truth.
Or will the years
bring sadness and tears
to the eyes of youth.

May the finger of fate
point the crimson way,
and guide her to happiness soon,
may it open the gate
to a perfect day
that ends with a honeymoon.

Gazing in the future
through the eyes of youth
wond'ring what awaits
behind the mystic gates
will she find a blue bird
when she learns the truth.
Or will the years
bring sadness and tears
to the eyes of youth.

Gazing in the future
through the eyes of youth
wond'ring what awaits
behind the mystic gates
will she find a blue bird
when she learns the truth.
Or will the years
bring sadness and tears
to the eyes of youth.
