Stan Rogers - Music in Your Eyes lyrics

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
