For Your Eyes Only Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For your eyes only, can see me through the night
For your eyes only, I never need to hide
You can see so much in me
So much in me that's new
I never felt, until I looked at you

[Chorus]
For your eyes only, only for you
You see what no one else can see
Now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only, only for you
The love I know you need in me
The fantasy you freed in me
Only for you, only for you

[Verse 2]
For your eyes only, the nights are never cold
You really know me, that's all I need to know
Maybe I'm an open book
Because I know you're mine
But you won't need to read between the lines

[Chorus]
For your eyes only, only for you
You see what no one else can see
Now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only, only for you
The passions that collide in me
The wild abandoned side of me
Only for you, for your eyes only

About

Originally, Blondie had written a song titled “For Your Eyes Only” in hopes of contributing it to the opening credits of the movie. However, producers preferred a song that Bill Conti had composed instead. Blondie (at the peak of their fame then) were invited to perform this version, but they turned it down. The song was then offered to Sheena Easton. Conti was initially unimpressed with Easton’s discography up to that point, but his opinion of her changed during production. “For Your Eyes Only” became a huge hit on radio, and it is the fourth-highest James Bond song ever to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching #4 in October 1981.
