LYRICS
Pretty eyes, pretty eyes
Not a cloud in my day
Not a cloud in my way
Angel eyes, no disguise
No pretension is here
No pretension, no fear
Don’t leave me calling
Don’t leave me falling
Don’t leave me calling
Don’t leave me falling
Stay a while, stay a while
I will tell you my mind
I will tell you my mind
I would give everything, just to take all your pain
Just to take all your pain
Don’t leave me calling
Don’t leave me falling
Don’t leave me calling
Don’t leave me falling

NOTES
- In 2002 Dolores explained how the song was recorded, “Songs like Chocolate Brown, Pretty Eyes and Carry On are recorded with the entire band playing at the same time.”
- Months before its release on the album, the track title was revealed on the former Cranberries official website in March 2001, “One song, Pretty Eyes slips out between the more feisty numbers, a soft lulliby ballad that blends the talents of band and producer into one soft, lucious performance. A hint of things to come.”
