Story Behind The Song
This song came about when my son asked me one day how he would know when he found the right girl. My answer to him was to first start with the eyes because you could see into this "window to the soul". This phrase stuck with me and evolved into this song.

Lyrics
The Eyes Have It
I told my Mama, ?Tell me what to do, this lovin? thing has got me so confused!
I want to know when ?Mr. Right? comes along, but how do I avoid
ending up with ?Mr. Wrong??
She said, ?The eyes have it...oh...the eyes have it. I?ve heard it told
they are the window to the soul and if
the eyes have it, then darlin? you will know.?
That boy said, ?Mama, I think I?ve found the one. I dream about
her from dawn to setting sun. You have been through this
maybe you can shed some light. ?Cause one time is
a charm; I don?t want to do this twice.?
She said, ?The eyes have it...oh...the eyes have it. I?ve heard it told
they are the window to the soul and if
the eyes have it, then darlin? you will know.?
Won?t find the answer on the cover of a book.
It won?t be taught in any class you ever took.
It?s all so simple once you realize, it?s staring right
back at you when you look into those eyes.
That boy said, ?Mama, I think I?ve found the one. I dream about
her from dawn to setting sun. You have been through this
maybe you can shed some light. ?Cause one time is
a charm; I don?t want to do this twice.?
She said, ?The eyes have it...oh...the eyes have it. I?ve heard it told
they are the window to the soul and if
the eyes have it, then darlin? you will know.?
That little sparkle that nobody else can see
says you?re exactly where you really ought to be.
Just like a vision, you?ll start to realize
The truth is staring at you when you look into those eyes.
That boy said, ?Mama, I think I?ve found the one. I dream about
her from dawn to setting sun. You have been through this
maybe you can shed some light. ?Cause one time is
a charm; I don?t want to do this twice.?
She said, ?The eyes have it...oh...the eyes have it. I?ve heard it told
they are the window to the soul and if
the eyes have it, then darlin? you will know.?
