about

She had amazing, large, soulful, expressive, sexy, alluring eyes. Lady with Latin Eyes is written about a blind date I had in the 80s.

Okay, the date did not go so well, in fact, it was one of the worst ever. But I was so mesmerized by her eyes that seemed to take me to another place, I went home wrote this song.

lyrics

The Lady With Latin Eyes
Written by Guy Morris (c) 2015

Goin' nowhere, got no care
lettin' the Puerto Rican sun soak in
Wastin' my time, got no dime
watchin' the Caribbean tide roll on in

It always happens when you least expect it
You're hearts unguarded and it's unprotected

Oh my,my,my,my,my,my,my,my
The lady with Latin eyes, ey, ey, ey, ey, hah!
Stole my soul and save my life
The lady with Latin eyes, ey, ey, ey
It was a hot, hot Latin night

In the shade of a palm, we coolin down
the heat is lookin', oh, so wet on her lips
Feet in the sand, she take my hand
and so I'm pullin her closer,
yea, man, gonna steal my first kiss

Who fallin for who, I silently wonder
One touch of her lips I know she's pulling me under

Oh my,my,my,my,my,my,my,my
The lady with Latin eyes, ey, ey, ey, ey, hah!
Stole my soul and save my life
The lady with Latin eyes, ey, ey, ey
It was a hot, hot Latin night

The sun is slippin down, the moon is round
the breeze is blowin cool from over the sand
Hold her in my arms, I feel her heart
beating to the rhythm smooth, Calypso band

Softly she whispers, 'love will hold us together'
one look in her eyes, I think I'm lost forever

Oh my,my,my,my,my,my,my,my
The lady with Latin eyes, ey, ey, ey, ey, hah!
Stole my soul and save my life
The lady with Latin eyes, ey, ey, ey
It was a hot, hot Latin night

On a hot, hot Latin night
It was a hot, hot Latin night
Sun is slippin down, the moon is round
the breeze is blowin' cool from over the sand
Hold her in my heart,
