I don't know how you do it
It's like you can read my mind
Even in those days when I feel
My head is as busy as time square in the middle of a beautiful summer night

(Translation found below in notes)
Those eyes, those eyes…
Ne plus ultra …
I just knew that I'd seen them before.
Those eyes, those eyes …
stopped my mind in it's tracks … like a ship that had ran ashore.
Those eyes, those eyes …
Sui generis …
Innocent, soothing, sublime.
Those eyes, those eyes …
They startled me … that moment they first gazed into mine.
Those eyes, those eyes…
Nonpareil …
throughout thee entire world.
Those eyes, those eyes …
like the moon so bright … or a magnificent flag unfurled.
Those eyes, those eyes …
Suaviter et dulce …
The eyes of a timeless friend.
Those eyes, those eyes …
they will find my soul … oh yes, yet again.
Those eyes, those eyes …
Coelo missus …
as I'm sure that thee angels chose.
Those eyes, those eyes …
sadly missed these days … except when mine are closed.
Those eyes … they shimmer …
just as my beloved Gulf in the summertime … a brilliant, beautiful green.
Those eyes… adorned with orange flecks …
like sapphires, adrift in those waves … are truly a site to be seen.

lights flashing through the city and polluting the air,
car horns honking and people colliding with your shoulder.
billboards flashing advertisements for the crowds below:
‘get a coke! stop by olive garden! try this phone service!’
and surrounding those screens, posters for the theater.
wicked, lion king, hamilton, and more
go to west 46th street and fight the crowd,
feel the excitement, hear the orchestra, touch the souvenirs,
let even a native new yorker become a tourist for one day
take your seat, admire the view, take some pictures,
listen to the ushers, watch the crowd settle, straighten as the lights dim.
everyone in places--it’s showtime.

whenever he walks through the door,
he makes the room lit brighter than the times square
and I am a tiny girl with her sweater and big dreams
captivated by his billboard-flashy-smile
