These Eyes
Lori Lieberman
These eyes
They look at the truth
They see what you do
They watch while you run your life into the ground
And why
I don’t have the right
But I’d lay down my life
If somebody cared for me like I do you
And every morning it’s the same
I reach for you
You pull away
Only words
But what can they say
Just get lost anyway
But maybe one day you’ll know I was the one
Who tried to hold back the tide
To stop the landslide
But you’d gone and paid the ticket on that ride
And every evening it’s the same
I reach for you
You turn away
From these eyes
From these eyes
And maybe one day you will know
Why I had to let you go
But after all, a hundred years
A thousand miles, a million tears
You’ll find these eyes
Still searching for you
The one that I knew
Yes I’m waiting
And you will know it’s me
Cause I have eyes that see
All you can be
And maybe one day I will know
Why you watched me turn and go
But if it takes a hundred years
A thousand miles, a million tears
You’ll find these eyes
Still waiting for you
The love that I knew
Yes I’m waiting
And you will know it’s me
Cause I have eyes that long for you to see
