In the film, it was sung as a duet between Marlon Brando and Jean Simmons. The cover version by Frankie Laine reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart in 1956 The biggest hit version of the song in America was recorded by The Four Aces featuring Al Alberts, backed by the Jack Pleis Orchestra. It was recorded on October 18, 1955, and released in the United States by Decca Records (catalog number 29725, as a 78 rpm record[and 9-29725 as a 45 rpm record).

Your eyes are the eyes of a woman in love
And oh, how they give you away
Why try to deny you're a woman in love
When I know very well what I say
I say no moon in the sky
Ever lent such a glow
Some flame deep within made them shine
Those eyes are the eyes of a woman in love
And may they gaze ever more into mine
Crazily gaze ever more into mine
