An interesting song about the transition from one relationship to another. Cheryl wrote this about a couple she knew where one of them was considering "straying from the nest."
If you have this album Half a Book, see if the name of this song is still mis-spelled on the disc itself.
- I See Your Eyes
- Words And Music By:
- Cheryl Wheeler
- We've been out of control and over the line,
- Under the sway of indecision
- Keepin it goin' n' we don't know why anymore
- If there's somethin' to lose 'n somethin to gain,
- is it a no-win situation?
- We've been confusin' passion and pain,
- And he says we both keep score.
- But he's so angry and he don't want me the way you do
- I don't wanna just jump the gun over somethin' new
- But, oh, I think of you
- I see your eyes in my dreams
- I see you face in my sleep
- I hear your voice talk to me
- And I can't hear myself speak
- Whatever it took, we couldn't explain
- We don't know how to make it better
- Remembering looks we haven't exchanged for so long
- Maybe we've got no reason to stay,
- He says he's alone when we're together
- And sometimes I wonder if we're so afraid
- We're just holdin' on
