What's the Color of Her Eyes?

 I found this fabulous 1920s sheet music antiquing with my sister. It was too cute to pass up! The title makes me laugh. Also, it was published in my hometown! How fun is that?

What's the Color of Her Eyes
I'm having trouble, I wrote a ditty,
To give my girl a surprise,
but here's the trouble, won't you have pity?
I don't know the color of her eyes!
For every time she looks at me , I'm so blinded I can't see!

Tell me what's the color of her eyes
Are they brown or are they blue? Are they gray I'm asking you?
Tell me what's the color of her eyes
I know they shine like stars and twinkle when she laughs
But you can't tell the color from her photographs
And every time she looks at me, I'm so dizzy I can't see,
Tell me what's the color of her eyes!

I looked and looked and looked, but couldn't find anyone singing it on youtube.

      I was so sad I couldn't find a youtube video....maybe I can find someone to play it on the piano.
