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
  
   (Chorus)
  
   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
  
   There was a rainbow over here
   He didn't see it from over there
   Black and white are fine
   But he's color blind
   Watching over me
   There must have been some kind of mystery
   Because I wanted him too
   But it was all wrong, all wrong
  
   (Chorus)
  
   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 don't cry
   It's hard to say exactly why he left you
   Maybe a change for good
   Don't cry Ilene...Oh no, Don't cry
