I walked along the crowded street
without a care
The world's so full of people
rushing everywhere
And then I saw a face, I thought I knew,
and as it came into view,
I couldn't take my eyes off you
You didn't even notice
I was standing there
So close to you,
but you just didn't seem to care
I did my be st to turn
around and walk away
But found that I had to stay
I couldn't take my eyes off you
I couldn't take my eyes off you
No matter how I tried
I stood there watching you as tears
Began to fill my eyes
Seeing you as someone new
Had me so much inside
I could have died,
I couldn't take my
eyes off you
You smiled at her
the way you always smiled at me
You took her in your arms
and kissed her tenderly
And then you walked away
with her by your side,
while I just broke down and cried.
I couldn't believe my eyes,
just would n't believe my eyes.
That's why I couldn't take
my eyes off you.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
