Lyrics

(Fmaj13)Star (F)eyes;

that, to (C6)me, is what your (Fmaj13)eyes (F)are;

soft as (Bb7)stars in A pril (Ebmaj7)skies are.

Tell me (Ab7)some day you’ll ful fill

their (Db7)prom ise of a (C13)thrill.

(Fmaj13)Star (F)eyes;

flash ing (C6)eyes in which my (Fmaj13)hopes (F)rise.

Let me (Bb7)show you where my (Ebmaj7)heart lies;

let me (Ab7)prove that it a dores

that (Db7)prom ise of a (C13)thrill.

(Db7)lov li ness of (C13)yours.

(Bbmaj7)All my life I felt

con (Bbm7)tent to star gaze at the (F)skies.

(Abmaj7)Now I on ly want to melt

the (G)star dust in your (C)eyes.

(Fmaj13)Star (F)eyes,

when, if (C6)ev er, will my (Fmaj13)lips (F)know

if it’s (Bb7)me for whom those (Ebmaj7)eyes glow?

Makes no (Ab7)dif f’rence where you (Gmaj13)are,

your (Db7)eyes still hold my (C13)wish ing (Fmaj13)star.

Oh, (Eb7)star (D7)eyes,

how love ly you (Fmaj13)are.

(Eb7)star (D7)eyes,

how love ly you (CN.C.)are.
