“The Story in Your Eyes”  is a 1971 hit single by the English rock band The Moody Blues that was written by the band’s guitarist Justin Hayward.  Stiv Bators released a single in 1987 on Bomp! of “Story in Your Eyes” backed with “Have Love, Will Travel”.  It is included on Bators’ retrospective CD L.A.

Stiv Bators, the front man for one of the best punk rock bands the Dead Boys was trying to reinvent himself as a pop singer and released one excellent album in 1980 called Disconnected and a lot of other singles.   
 
In about 1985, Stiv Bators was recording a new version of a Moody Blues “B” side, “The Story in Your Eyes”; and the flip side was going to be a cover of the Richard Berry anthem “Have Love, Will Travel”.
