Lyrics
The Sun Got In My Eyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I read the story as a little boy
about Icarus and his new toy
he flew straight on and never looked back
right on up to heaven on wings of wax
then I grew up and got some wings of my own
and left behind those things that I'd out grown
I headed where the bright lights shown
sure they were shining for me
I wished that I had loved you
I wished that I tried
the sun got in my eyes
and left be hypnotized
the sun got in my eyes
in my eyes
and I went on my merry way
sure that I'd be better for you someday
and I'd have you wide eyed with the things that I'd know
and where I'd been, and where I'd flown
I wished that I had loved you
I wished that I tried
but the sun got in my eyes
the sun got in my eyes
and left be hypnotized
the sun got in my eyes
in my eyes
and when do people love
when in love, the world just goes away
and thereÂ's not anything (anything)
or anyone (anyone) to take that way
oh girl, we could have flown (girl, we could have flown)
girl, I should have known
they were lies, they were lies
but the sun got in my eyes
(in my eyes, in my eyes, in my eyes)
(in my eyes, in my eyes)
