"Eyes That See in the Dark" is a song written by Barry and Maurice Gibb in 1982.[1] It was recorded by American singer Kenny Rogers for his 1983 album of the same name.[2] It reached #30 on the US Country chart, #4 on the US Adult Contemporary chart, #61 in the United Kingdom and #79 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Recording took place at Middle Ear Studios in Florida, Lion Share Recording Studios and Ocean Way Recording in Los Angeles. In the UK, RCA seemed afraid of the full-out country voice of Dolly Parton as it was released as a single before "Islands in the Stream".[3] In the US, this was the third single off the album with "Hold Me" as the B-side.[4]

The guitars were played by Barry Gibb, Maurice Gibb, Tim Renwick and George Terry .
