Before Your Eyes
Before your eyes
Two little love birds meet
And take to flight
Without an inkling that it isn't right.
It is such a sight to see.
I've been told
That one can never ever be too bold.
But just like shaky bridges
Dreams are sold to that humble cuckold like me.
I call your name
With hope you'll tame and equalize me.
But you're one to hit and run
With fiery tongue to tantalize me and then defy me.
The race is on
Well under the direction of your baton.
As I persist you keep me hangin' on.
My heart weighs a ton
And it's sinking to where it may never arise.
Have mercy on what's before your eyes.
I call your name
With hope you'll tame and equalize me.
But you're one to hit and run
With fiery tongue to tantalize me and then defy me.
The race is on
Well under the direction of your baton.
As I persist you keep me hangin' on.
My heart weighs a ton
And it's sinking to where it may never arise.
Have mercy on, take pity on, don't miss the love that's before your eyes.
