Music in Your Eyes

When I was younger in the days of my youth
I used to sit down and watch the river go down
And see my dreams roll 'round the bend
Hoping they’d come back again
Now a long time’s gone by and at least once a day
I sit and think about when you were holy
And so eager to see what you could find;
Now ain’t it funny how we lost the timeâ?¦
You wonder why I lay awake at night
Well I just can’t get to sleep
It’s not the devils or the feelings inside
It’s the peace of mind I seek
Cause you stand there laughin', I’m standin' starin'
And I’ve come all this way and all you ever said was
«Well, that’s OK»
Music in your eyes, I can tell by your surprise
You’ve been doin' fine, so don’t give me no more lies;
We’ll understand it all in time
Music in your eyes, my God, I’d love to watch you dance!
Now don’t be feelin' shy, 'cause I know you know how
And you’re not sleepy now
When I came into this town I knew my hands were bounded;
I knew I’d have to pay for my ways or else go underground
But I said, «Music in your eyes, I can tell by your surprise
That you’ve been doin' fine, so don’t give me no more lies
We’ll understand it all in time»
I wouldn’t place you in a hole, 'cause that’s not the way to do it;
I know you want to be set free to let your love come shining on through;
So come on and shine now!
Music in your eyes, I can tell by your surprise
That you’ve been doin' fine, so don’t give me no more lies
We’ll understand it all in time
You know, we’ll understand it
