Blackie & the Rodeo Kings - Music In Your Eyes lyrics

When I was younger

in the days of my youth

I used to sit down and watch the river go

down

and send my dreams there around the bend

hoping they'd come back again

Now long times go by

at least once a day

I sit and think about when you were holy

and eager to see what you could find

It's funny how we lost the time

You wonder why I lay awake at night

I just can't get to sleep

It's not the devils or the feeling inside

it's the peace of mind I seek

and you stand there staring

I'm standing laughing

cause I've come all this way

and all you ever said was that's OK

Music in your eyes

I can tell by your surprise

You've been doing fine

so don't give me no more lies

We'll understand it all in time

Music in your eyes

God I love to watch you dance

Don't be feeling shy

I know you know how

and we're not sleeping now

When I came into this town

I knew my hands were bound

They said you have to pay for your ways

or else go underground

but I said

Music in your eyes

I can tell by your surprise

You've been doing fine

so don't give me no more lies

We'll understand it all in time

Don't place me in a hole

cause that's not the way to prove it

I have to keep on changing my face

'til I can quit being confused by
