Look In Her Eyes 1913 'Lieber Augustin'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 20 Apr 2005

In the game of love,
the points that count
are subtlety and finesse.
Not crude displays of your mental craze
that advertise distress!
A rippling laugh and a fund of chaff
with never the sound of sighs!
And all else above,
if you'd win at love
Always look in the lady's eyes!

Look in her eyes,
look in her eyes,
take my advice and be wise.
Hints that you need,
in your plans to succeed!
Plainer than print
you'll be able to read.
Look in her eyes,
look in her eyes,
if love any where in them lies!

Without any doubt,
it is bound to peep out.
Umm, umm,umm, through her eyes!

In the dance, there's your chance,
then the stage is all set for the play!
With your arms round her waist,
she is properly placed for survey!
Her romance, may advance,
to the thought of the trousseau she'll buy!

And you're planning the house.
To a rhythm of Strauss!
As you watch the lovelight in her eye.

Look in her eyes,
look in her eyes,
take my advice and be wise.
Hints that you need,
in your plans to succeed!
Plainer than print
you'll be able to read.
Look in her eyes,
look in her eyes,
if love any where in them lies!
Without any doubt,
it is bound to peep out.
Umm, umm,umm, through her eyes!
