This waltz for soprano is performed by Ellen Bowen (Jane Powell) to entertain the passengers on board the ocean liner. A subsequent dance number with Tom (Fred Astaire) does not go as planned, however, as a storm tosses the ship about and sends the dancers tumbling.
Open your eyes
There's a sapphire sky above us
High above us
Made for you when you open your heart
Open your eyes
There's a carpet of jade around us
Laid around us
All for you when you open your heart
Let me show you the sights, take you on a tour
Of this great, new, fabulous world we own
We alone
So, open your eyes
And you'll see how this momentary
Ordinary
Night can seem
More unreal than a dream
Open Your Eyes was written by Alan Jay Lerner & Burton Lane.
Jane Powell released Open Your Eyes on Mon Jan 01 1951.
