Lyrics
As days go by
I wonder where you’re going now my friend
A journey that’s left me to ponder my life without you
Your time had come
And now that you’ve found your true destiny
You left me a memory to treasure like gold from afar
The beauty that I see in your eyes makes me smile
The wonder of love that can breathe such emotion in me
The beauty that I see in your eyes makes me sigh
A feeling so true, it’s the reason I’ll always be blue
Oh the beauty that I see in your eyes benign
The knowing there’s no way that you can be mine
(Music Interlude)
The beauty that I see in your eyes makes me smile
The wonder of love that can breathe such emotion in me
The beauty that I see in your eyes makes me sigh
A feeling so true, it’s the reason I’ll always be blue
Oh the beauty that I see in your eyes benign
The knowing there’s no way that you can be mine
The beauty (the beauty)
That I see (that I see)
The beauty (the beauty)
That I see (that I see)
The beauty
The beauty
Your beauty
I wonder where you’re going now my friend
A journey that’s left me to ponder my life without you
Your time had come
And now that you’ve found your true destiny
You left me a memory to treasure like gold from afar
The beauty that I see in your eyes makes me smile
The wonder of love that can breathe such emotion in me
The beauty that I see in your eyes makes me sigh
A feeling so true, it’s the reason I’ll always be blue
Oh the beauty that I see in your eyes benign
The knowing there’s no way that you can be mine
(Music Interlude)
The beauty that I see in your eyes makes me smile
The wonder of love that can breathe such emotion in me
The beauty that I see in your eyes makes me sigh
A feeling so true, it’s the reason I’ll always be blue
Oh the beauty that I see in your eyes benign
The knowing there’s no way that you can be mine
The beauty (the beauty)
That I see (that I see)
The beauty (the beauty)
That I see (that I see)
The beauty
The beauty
Your beauty
