James A. Taylor – My Eyes lyrics
Tic tock goes the clock
Life is passing by
The bravery of the common man
To face his foe eye to eye
A zig zag across the breast
Another battle scar
Just another slice , there ain’t much left
Of who you are
I’m afraid to die with my eyes wide open
‘Cause I don’t know what I’ll see
I have lived my life with my eyes wide open
Before I go please close them for me
Babies I seen ‘em born
Heard the beauty of their first cry
The life force like a new sunrise
Rising up to meet blue sky
I smell the rain
And breathe the air
The snow upon my head
The wind is blowing through the trees
I will watch it blow until I’m dead
I’m afraid to die with my eyes wide open
‘Cause I don’t know what I’ll see
I have lived my life with my eyes wide open
Before I go please close them for me
Sing a song when I’m gone
With a melody so gay
Play the pipes and beat the drum
Just a hint of sadness fiercely played
I drink to you sweet visions gift
No better sight I’ve seen
The colours swirl round this magic world
So thankful to have been
Life is passing by
The bravery of the common man
To face his foe eye to eye
A zig zag across the breast
Another battle scar
Just another slice , there ain’t much left
Of who you are
I’m afraid to die with my eyes wide open
‘Cause I don’t know what I’ll see
I have lived my life with my eyes wide open
Before I go please close them for me
Babies I seen ‘em born
Heard the beauty of their first cry
The life force like a new sunrise
Rising up to meet blue sky
I smell the rain
And breathe the air
The snow upon my head
The wind is blowing through the trees
I will watch it blow until I’m dead
I’m afraid to die with my eyes wide open
‘Cause I don’t know what I’ll see
I have lived my life with my eyes wide open
Before I go please close them for me
Sing a song when I’m gone
With a melody so gay
Play the pipes and beat the drum
Just a hint of sadness fiercely played
I drink to you sweet visions gift
No better sight I’ve seen
The colours swirl round this magic world
So thankful to have been
