It is not from a cartoon but from an animated
film, but it my favorite.
"Bright Eyes" is a song written
by Mike Batt, and performed by Art Garfunkel. It was used in the soundtrack of
the 1978 British animated adventure drama film Watership Down and as such is
considered the theme song of the film and the later television series
adaptations. The track appears on UK and
European versions of Garfunkel's 1979 Fate for Breakfast and on the US
versions of his 1981 album Scissors Cut. It was the biggest selling single of
1979 in the UK .
Watership Down is a classic heroic fantasy
novel, written by English author Richard Adams, published by Rex Collings Ltd
of London in 1972. Set in south-central England ,
the story features a small group of rabbits. Although they live in their
natural environment, they are anthropomorphised, possessing their own culture,
language (Lapine), proverbs, poetry, and mythology. Evoking epic themes, the
novel is the Aeneid of the rabbits as they escape the destruction of their
warren and seek a place to establish a new home, encountering perils and
temptations along the way.

Bright Eyes lyrics
Is it a kind of dream,
Floating out on the tide,
Following the river of death downstream?
Oh,
is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon,
A
strange glow in the sky,
And
nobody seems to know where you go,
And
what does it mean?
Oh,
is it a dream?
Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How
can you close and fail
How
can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
Is it a kind of shadow,
Reaching into the night,
Wandering over the hills unseen,
Or
is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees,
A
cold sound in the air,
And
nobody ever knows when you go,
And
where do you start,
Oh,
into the dark.
Bright eyes,
burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
how
can you close and fail
How
can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
Bright eyes,
burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
how
can you close and fail
How
can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
