In Your Eyes



Some people fall in love
In rooms that are so dark.
They can't see where they are going
And they lose their hearts.
But when I saw your face,
It was a light so strong!
I could feel a long night coming on...!

In your eyes...!
In your eyes...!

And I saw driving down to the river;
Laughing in the rain;
Dancing out in the moonlight;
Papers in bed!
And I saw your delights as a lover
Until the break of day!
And oh... every time I look
It's you and me together... in your eyes.

Some people say that time changes everything.
With love there's no way of knowing
What the world may bring.
But I don't mind at all, because it's you and me!
And all I've ever wanted, I can see...

In your eyes...!
In your eyes...!

And we are driving down to the river;
Laughing in the rain;
Dancing out in the moonlight;
Papers in bed.
And I feel your delights as a lover
Until the break of day!
Oh and every time I look
It's you and me together in your eyes!

In your eyes...!
In your eyes...!

And I feel your delights as a lover
Until the break of day!
And oh every time I look
It's you and me forever... in your eyes!

In your eyes...!
In your eyes...!

Driving down to the river...
Your delights as a lover...
Dancing out in the moonlight...
"Ah, yes... A lot of these tunes have go a bit of wry humour in them - because of the way I've been feeling during the making of this album; very confident and happy and... sure of myself. I'm sure this is going to be a successful record and - shit, if nobody likes it, I couldn't give a damn! It's just because I'm happy to make a record I want to make. But the first line of the song goes 'Some people fall in love in rooms that are so dark. They can't see where they're going and lose their hearts.' It's really just about people in night clubs who, you know, see a girl across the floor. It's so dim, but they fall madly in love and, of course, they get into terrible trouble. So, this guy in the song is in a night club, he sees a lady and, even in the mug and the gloom, he realises there's something extremely special about her. He looks in her eyes and, immediately, he suddenly sees all these things going on. This would make a great video; in her eyes he sees the two of them doing things. It's like a movie starts in her eyes, and he sees them driving down to the river, them reading papers in bed... And then the second verse goes 'Some people say that time changes everything' and, clearly, what's happened is his first impressions were correct and now they're together. Indeed, they've been together for quite a while but, even so, he still sees the same excitement and love and romance in her eyes that he'd seen the first time he saw her. It's a romantic song, and a big favourite of mine."
