Paul Heaton - Prettiest Eyes lyrics

[Verse 1] Line One is the time That you, you first stayed over at mine And we drank our first bottle of wine And we cried... Line Two we're away And we both, we both had nowhere to stay Well, the bus-shelter's always okay When you're young... [Pre-Chorus 1] Now you're older and I look at your face Every wrinkle is so easy to place And I only write them down just in case That you die [Chorus 1] Let's take a look at these crow's feet, just look Sitting on the prettiest eyes Sixty 25th of Decembers Fifty-nine 4th of Julys Not through the age or the failure, children Not through the hate or despise Take a good look at these crow's feet Sitting on the prettiest eyes [Verse 2] Line Three I forget But I think, I think it was our first ever bet And the horse we backed was short of a leg Nevermind... Line Four in a park And the things, the things that people do in the dark I could hear the faintest beat of your heart Then we did... [Pre-Chorus 2] Now you're older and I look at your face Every wrinkle is so easy to place And I only write them down just in case You should die [Chorus 2] Let's take a look at these crow's feet, just look Sitting on the prettiest eyes Sixty 25th of Decembers Fifty-nine 4th of Julys You can't have too many good times, children You can't have too many lines Take a good look at these crow's feet Sitting on the prettiest eyes [Outro] Well my eyes look like a map of the town And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown But you'll never hear the crack of a frown when you are here You'll never hear the crack Of a frown Of a frown Of a frown Of a frown...
