BLUE EYES
3 min 1 sec

She was sitting in a booth
At the back of the room
As the band approaches the stage
Caressing her drink with her soft fingertips
Any guy would love to be in its place

Did she glance across the table at me
In what seemed to freeze space in time
Was that smile that she made meant for me
Or just some other guy
Blue Eyes (Blue Eyes)
I'm out of control

The candle it flickers
And lights up her face
Burning wildly as it catches her breath
And I feel my heart start to ache
As it wants to jump out of my chest
Should I face the music and admit what I feel
Or keep it way down inside
And I'm afraid if I speak too loud or too soon
She will lock me out of her mind
Blue Eyes (Blue Eyes)
I'm out of control

She rises from the table makes her way towards the door
As I happen to notice it's late
And I can't bear the thought
Of watching her go
Without even knowing her name
As I turn to ask she's already left
Her car's pulling away
And I feel like a fool for letting her go
I may never see her again
Blue Eyes (Blue Eyes)
I'm out of control

But what's this, there's a note
Stuck in my jar as I carefully read the lines
Said I enjoyed the show you sang to my heart
I'll see you tomorrow night
And it's signed
Blue Eyes (Blue Eyes)
I'm out of control
