When You Look In My Eyes

(casting our minds back to 11 years ago, in 1994, when your pal here was at his prime of cuteness and innocence *run for your life! :P* while he still proudly wore the high-school uniform, on the first grade to be exact.

this song was on the top of playlists in many radios in indonesia, and i got smitten by it, so much so that i bought the cassette *CD was a luxury at that time*, and played it over and over again, not really giving a thought that it would only shorten the life of the cassette and until now, i've never seen the cassette again! :D

but thanks to the advancement of technology, mp3s are widely, illegally available to download, i managed to find this lovely song again. you bet, it ranks as the most frequently played song on my iTunes now.

i wonder if any of you are familiar w/ the song, so for those who are not, this is called 'when you look in my eyes', written by this jazz great jay graydon, featured on his album 'airplay for the planet'.

hey, if you ever came across this song before, and one of those people who often requested this song to be played in radios more than a decade ago, this song is for you all.
t, the lyric is about you.)


Though I was through with love
Thought it was over
Didn't need what I needed before

The neverending story
Had an ending after all
And it hurts you when you fall

Guess I didn't believe enough
Didn't think it could happen
I gave up on myself long ago

Love had me believing
Then it turned and closed the door
I couldn't trust it anymore

While I'm beginning to doubt my doubts
And I'm losing faith in my faithlessness
All the grey above is clearing
Becoming blue skies
When you look in my eyes

But here in reality
It gets so confusing
Why are old habits hard to break
My heart's afraid of losing
So I haven't played the game
It always seems to end the same

But I'm beginning to doubt my doubts
And I'm losing faith in my faithlessness
All the grey above is clearing
Becoming blue skies

I'm beginning to feel again
And I'm losing what's left of my thoughtlessness
The sun has begun to come out
In my life
When you look in my eyes

You gave me something more
It's like I never love before

But I'm beginning to doubt my doubts
And I'm losing faith in my faithlessness
All the grey above is clearing
Becoming blue skies

I'm beginning to feel again
And I'm losing what's left of my thoughtlessness
The sun has begun to come out
In my life

When you look in my eyes
