Whitney Houston recorded the duet “If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful” for Jermaine Jackson’s 1986 album entitled Precious Moments. Although it was never released as a single, the song received significant radio airplay and was later included on the album Whitney: The Greatest Hits.
Songwriter: Elliott Willensky
If you say my eyes are beautiful,
It’s because they’re looking at you
And if you could only see yourself,
You’d feel the same way too
You could say that I am a dreamer
Who’s had a dream come true
If you say my eyes are beautiful,
It’s because they’re looking at you
If you’re wondering why I’m smiling,
It’s because I’m happy with you
And the warm sensations touch my heart,
And fill me through and through
I could hold you close forever,
And never let you go
If you say my eyes are beautiful,
It’s because I just love you so
Now my heart is an open door;
Won’t you come inside for more?
You give love so sweetly now;
Take my love, take me completely now
Oh… if you say my eyes are beautiful,
It’s because they’re looking at you
And my eyes are just the window
For my feelings to come through
And by far, you are more beautiful
Than anything I ever knew
If you say my eyes are beautiful,
If you say my eyes are beautiful,
If you say my eyes are beautiful,
It’s because (it’s because) they’re looking at you
