Stan Rogers — 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
