Music In Your Eyes - Willie P. Bennett
When I was younger, in the days of my youth
I used to sit down and watch the river go down
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 we were holy
Eager to see what we could find
Funny how we lost the time
You wonder why I lay awake at night
Well Ijust 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
I've come all this way
And all you ever said was
That's okay
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
Now don't be feeling shy
I know you know how
And you're not sleeping now
When I came into this town
I knew my hands were bound
They said you've got 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'1l understand it all in time
(instrumental verse)
Don't place me in a hole
'Cause that's not the way to prove it
I have to keep on changing my face
Until I can quit being confused
By
Music in your eyes
I can tell by your surprise
You've been doing fine
So don't give me any more lies
We'1l understand it all in time
We'll understand it all in time
We'll understand it all in time
