In My Eyes
I know your dresses are faded, we can’t buy nothin’ new,
So you say you’ve got nothin’ to wear,
But I tell you the flowers that brighten the springtime,
They still look their best in your hair,
And when your mirror shows wrinkles and traces of age,
If it says you aren’t lovely, it lies !
Your mirror can’t show what I see, when I see you…
Only look at yourself in my eyes,
Can’t you look at yourself in my eyes,
In my eyes, that can see in the darkness,
We won’t need the light of the sun,
It just shows us the way time has marked us,
And it can’t show the loving we’ve done,
So if you hear the world laughing every time we go out,
Why Hell, the world never was very wise
And the world doesn’t love you the way that I love you,
Won’t you look at yourself in my eyes,
Can’t you look at yourself in my eyes,
Because the world doesn’t love you the way that I love you,
Only look at yourself in my eyes.
