Those high heels with that sun dress
Turquoise heart hanging ’round your neck
Red lips like wine, wanna drink ’em up
And keep on drinkin’ ’til you make me drunk
Tied up hair, wanna let it down
And just let the rest fall to the ground
You take beautiful to the max
Can’t help myself when you look like that
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, girl the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don’t wanna take off of you
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don’t wanna take off of you
There’s a million stars dancing in the sky
A picture perfect moon so bright
But I don’t care, I’m looking at you
From where I stand you can’t beat the view
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, girl the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don’t wanna take off of you
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don’t wanna take off of you
My eyes have seen
Some amazing things
But girl, my eyes ain’t seen
Nothing quite like you, hey baby
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, girl the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don’t wanna take off of you
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don’t wanna take off of you
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don’t wanna take off of you
Romantic Imagery and Intimate Connection
“My Eyes” by Blake Shelton is a heartfelt country ballad that captures the electric chemistry between two people in a moment of undeniable attraction. The lyrics use vivid imagery—high heels, a sundress, and turquoise jewelry—to paint a scene of effortless beauty. Shelton’s words highlight how every detail of the woman captivates him, making her the absolute center of his attention. The recurring line, “My eyes are the only thing I don’t wanna take off of you,” perfectly sums up the intensity of his gaze and affection, emphasizing admiration that goes beyond the physical.
Focus on the Present
The song also contrasts the beauty of the night sky with the allure of his partner, showing that even a million stars can’t compete with her presence. The repetition of “come a little closer” invites intimacy and underscores the deep connection Shelton feels, making the song both tender and passionate.
