Music In Your Eyes
Willie P. Bennett 1975

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
Hopin' they'd come back again

But now long times go by, at least once a day
I sit and think about when you were holy
And eager to see what you could find
It's funny how we lost the time

You wonder why I lay awake at night
Well, I just can't get to sleep
It's not the devils or the feelin's inside
It's the peace of mind I seek
And you stand there, staring
And 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
Now, 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 say 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
Now you've been doing fine
So don't give me no more lies
We'1l understand it all in time

Don't place me in a hole
'Cause that's not the way to do 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 no more lies
We'1l understand it all in time
We'll understand it all in time
Yes, we'll understand all in time
