with out (Cm)cry ing.

Now I want to un der (Eb)stand.

I have done all that I could to see the nev er (Gm)e vil and the good I got with out hid ing.

You must (Ab)help me if you can.

Doc tor, my eyes,

(Eb)tell me what is wrong.

Was I un wise

to leave them o (CN.C.)pened for so (Ab)long?

’Cause I have (Eb)wan dered thru this world and as and each (Gm)mo ment rade un furled fears

I’ve been (Cm)wait ing to a wak en from these (Eb)dreams.

Peo ple go just where they will.

to see I nev er (Gm)no ticed that un til I got with this hid ing that it’s (Ab)la ter than it seems.

Doc tor, my eyes,

(Eb)tell me what you see,

I hear their cries,

just say if it’s (CN.C.)too late for (Ab)long?

’Cause I have (Ab)me.

Doc tor, my eyes

(Eb)can not see the sky.

Is this the (Cm)prize

for hav ing learned (CN.C.)how not to (Ab)cry?

Doc tor, my eyes.

Doc tor, my eyes.

Doc tor, my eyes.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Doctor, My Eyes" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Ab, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 100 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
