He had his father's eyes

And his mother's point of view

There was no disguise

He couldn't see through

Sometimes the little things

They don't seem so small

But they had a good thing overall, yeah

Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody

Knew him the way you did

It's hard to say exactly why he left you

Maybe a change for good

Don't cry Ilene, oh no

Oh, there was a rainbow over here

He didn't see it from over there

'Cause black and white are fine

But I think he's color blind

Watching over me

There must have been some kind of mystery

Because I wanted him too

But it was wrong, all wrong

Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody

Knew him the way you did

It's hard to say exactly why he left you

Maybe a change for good

Don't cry Ilene

Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody

Knew him the way you did

It's hard to say exactly why he left you

Maybe a change for good

Don't cry Ilene, no, no

I don't know exactly why he left you

Maybe a change for good

Don't cry Ilene, oh no

Don't cry
