Richard Carpenter - Something In Your Eyes lyrics

There was a certain face

that filled a thousand nights

with all the sweetest dreams and promises

of paradise

But that face was gone

When the dawn would come and steal you

Yet I still could feel you

waiting just a kiss away

I'd surely know your face

when love would cast its spell

I'd recognize each curve and line of you

I knew it well

Now at last you're here and I can tell

Something in your eyes I see

Is all I've ever wanted

(And) Something in your smile for me

is calling out my name

Your eyes it seems

are mirrors of my dreams

in ways I can't explain...

And my heart will never be the same

We never said a word

as if we'd always known

that through the bittersweet of waiting

we were not alone

Now we're close enough

for the touch of love to find us

fantasies designed us

But they never really could

begin to measure you

No pictures ever do

And as I watch you framed in sunlight

And a sky of blue

I know what my life's been leading to

Something in your eyes I see

Is all I've ever wanted

(And) Something in your smile for me

is calling out my name

Your eyes it seems

are mirrors of my dreams

in ways I can't explain...

And my heart will never be the same
