Here are the lyrics to “The Night has a Thousand Eyes” by Bobby Vee:
“They say that you’re a runaround lover
Though you say it isn’t so
But if you put me down for another
I’ll know, believe me, I’ll know
‘Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes can’t help but see if you are true to me
So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes
You say that you’re at home when you phone me
And how much you really care
Though you keep telling me that you’re lonely
I’ll know if someone is there
‘Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes can’t help but see if you are true to me
So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes
One of these days you’re gonna be sorry
‘Cause your game I’m gonna play
And you’ll find out without really tryin’
Each time that my kisses stray
‘Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes will see me too
And no matter what I do I could never disguise all my little white lies
‘Cause the night has a thousand eyes
So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes”
Bobby Vee was born Robert Thomas Velline on April 30, 1943, in Fargo, North Dakota. When he was 15, he and his band filled in for Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper, who had just died in the infamous plane crash on their way to a show in Fargo. A local radio station asked for replacements . Vee’s group called the station and showed up. They didn’t have a name until they got on stage and Vee said they were called “The Shadows.”
