Future Eyes is the debut solo album by Scottish Christian music singer -author Sheila Walsh. Released in the U.K. on Chapel Hill Records in 1981, this was the debut album by Walsh when she left the group The Oasis at the time. In 1982, Sparrow Records in America picked up Future Eyes for American distribution but with a slightly altered track listing. The album is produced by Paul Cobbold.

The Sparrow Records recording is produced by Cobbold, with additional production by Christian music pioneer Larry Norman and Norman Miller (Walsh's first husband) for remixing and editing work on the tracks "Love In My Life" and "You're So Important to Me." On the U.S. version, several tracks were remixed by adding more guitar, removing some synthesizers, and adding some different background vocals. The songs "Breaking the Ice" and "He Weeps for Ours Tears" were removed and added a new track "Burn On." Walsh re-recorded "Burn On" for her U.K only release No One Loves Me Like You.
