The idea for “The Girl With The Dancing Eyes” was taken directly from the regency romance novels of Georgette Heyer, a master of the genre and a literary descendant of Jane Austin.
The phrase “dancing eyes” suggests a sense of humour and high levels of intelligence and perception; hallmarks, along with strength of character and kindness, of a Heyer leading lady.
The phrase, “her eyes began to dance” has become a standard in romance novels of all kinds and I confess an unflagging susceptibility to its charm.
I remember when I met you
I was so serious
Till I saw that sparkle in your eyes
Till I learned how you love
To tease all your friends
And how much in the world
Makes you smile
All my doubts disappear
All my worries are gone
All the clouds disappear from the sky
Suddenly all I need is right here in my arms
The girl with the dancing eyes
You put me on the spot
When I spoke of romance
Your eyes starting to dance
You drive me wild
I can’t pin you down
You just laugh, and you run, and you play
All my doubts disappear
All my worries are gone
All the clouds disappear from the sky
Suddenly all I need is right here in my arms
The girl with the dancing eyes
Your laughter disarms me
I don’t stand a chance
I know when I’ve met my match
And that’s when the warmth
Of love fills you eyes
That’s when the fire lights
All my doubts disappear
All my worries are gone
All the clouds disappear from the sky
Suddenly all I need is right here in my arms
The girl with the dancing eyes
