Music and French lyrics by Paul de Maison Neuve

Original title : Le cœur sec et les yeux froids

 

 

 

 

THE HEART AND EYES SO ICY

 

 

1        There is a man who’s got so many friends

That we almost envy him.

So young, so handsome, as his smile widens

We are all seduced by him.

 

He looks so self-assured and is so strong,

He never says you are wrong,

That is no doubt why nobody can see

His heart and eyes so icy.

 

 Chorus   Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh.

 

2        There is a woman who is all my life,

Never mind, no, I don’t care,

If they all say she’ll never stay my wife,

For she’s by far the most fair.

 

Her tender touch gives exquisite pleasure,

Delights I dearly treasure,

That is no doubt why I myself can’t see

Her heart and eyes so icy.

 

To the chorus.

 

 

Break   Every time I fall in love again

I wonder inside of me,

Does the whole wide world really stay the same

The heart and eyes so icy ? (ter)

 

Intrumental.

 

3        There are children who’re dancing and smiling

In the streets of many towns.

Their fav’rite game is playing and killing

Without making them feel down.

 

They are so charming when they look at you,

You do believe they are true.

So that’s no doubt why nobody can see

Their hearts ans eyes so icy.

 

To the chorus (bis) and end.
