Patrick Leonard - Spanish Eyes lyrics

[Verse 1] I know for sure his heart is here with me Though I wish him back I know he cannot see my hands trembling I know he hears me sing [Chorus] I light this candle and watch it throw tears on my pillow And if there is a Christ He'll come tonight to pray for Spanish eyes And if I have nothing left to show Tears on my pillow What kind of life is this? If God exists, then help me pray for Spanish eyes [Verse 2] He had to fight like all the rest In the barrio, all the streets are paved with fear I don't understand At least he was a man [Chorus] I light this candle and watch it throw tears on my pillow And if there is a Christ He'll come tonight to pray for Spanish eyes And if I have nothing left to show Tears on my pillow What kind of life is this? If God exists, then help me pray for Spanish eyes [Refrain] How many lives will they have to take? How much heartache? How many suns will they have to burn? Spanish eyes, when will they ever learn? [Bridge] You were not the Maravilla in our minds We were proud to fight, but we cannot win this blind Stand your gun's against the wall Who's next in line to fall? [Chorus] I light this candle and watch it throw tears on my pillow And if there is a Christ He'll come tonight to pray for Spanish eyes And if I have nothing left to show Tears on my pillow What kind of life is this? If God exists, then help me pray for Spanish eyes [Interlude] Tus lagrimas de tristeza No me dejan olvidarte [Refrain] How many lives will they have to take? How much heartache? How many suns will they have to burn? Spanish eyes, when will they ever learn?
