The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light of the whole world dies With the setting sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one; But the light of a whole life dies When love is done.
The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light of the whole world dies With the setting sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one; But the light of a whole life dies When love is done.
