"The Story in Your Eyes" is a 1971 hit single by the English rock band The Moody Blues. Written by the band's guitarist Justin Hayward, it was first released as a single with "My Song" on the B-side, and then on the 1971 album "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" shortly after.

On the album, "The Story in Your Eyes" is the second track, and is preceded by the track "Procession." "Procession" was the first and only song that was written by all five members of the band. The song was intended to describe the history of music from the beginning of time, and the only three words in the whole piece are "desolation," "creation," and "communication."

"The Story in Your Eyes" is primarily driven by electric guitar and mellotron, which gives it a slightly orchestral sound. Justin Hayward also sings lead vocals. "The Story in Your Eyes" was also their final single to feature the mellotron. The mellotron would be replaced by the chamberlin, a similar instrument in time for their next album, "Seventh Sojourn". The SACD release of the album "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" contains a version of "The Story in Your Eyes" that has the mellotron in dominant role.
