Lights

I cannot recall
When I felt like this
It's been a long old time
If I ever did
So if I act strange
I'm hoping you'll forgive
I've got your light
I got your light in my eyes
On some distant moon
I lie on my back
For a glimpse of blue
'Fore it's gone to black
It used to be like this
Now it's not like that
I got your light
I got your light in my eyes
Every heart on earth
Is dark half the time
Oh I try and try
But I can't read your mind
Sometimes I can't see
That don't mean I'm blind
It's just your light
It's just your light in my eyes
In my eyes, in my eyes, my eyes
