"Ebony Eyes," written by John Henning and Bob Welch, was Welch's sophomore release that rose to no. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978 (Whitburn, 2013). Background vocals were provided by Juice Newton (fleetwoodmac fandom, 2022). Welch was a member of Fleetwood Mac from 1971-1974 before going solo; he was replaced by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks (imdb, 2022).

"Bart Herbison, executive director of the Nashville Songwriters Association, quoted [Welch's] wife Wendy as saying Welch had spinal surgery three months ago and doctors told him he would not get better. He did not want her to have to care for an invalid" (imdb, 2022).

Lyrics:
Well have you seen that girl in the corner
I'd like to take her out of her chains
'Cause if I have my way with you baby
I would be changing your life today
Your eyes got me dreamin
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin
That I'll be holding you close tonight
Your eyes got me dreamin
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin
That I'll be holding you close tonight
She was the same as a hundred ladies
But when my eyes looked at her I learned
That she was keepin a secret fire
And if I got real close I'd burn
So it looked like I had to move slowly
Like a cat at night in the trees
'Cause I was waiting for her to show me
The way that she like her love to feel
Your eyes got me dreamin
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin
That I'll be holding you close tonight
Your eyes got me dreamin
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin
That I'll be holding you close tonight
Ebony eyes, ebony eyes
Ebony eyes, ebony eyes
Your eyes got me dreamin
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin
That I'll be holding you close tonight
Your eyes got me dreamin
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin
That I'll be holding you close tonight
