Lyrics

To Open Your Eyes

Once upon a midnight clearing
Listen to the voice you’re hearing
Doesn’t really seem so long ago
There she stood inside your vision
Clinging to your last decision
Silently erasing what you know

You were young and taking chances
She was making second glances
Up and down the dial you sang along
Taken by your first impressions
She repeats the same expressions
Giving you a hint what’s going on

Carelessly it trips your motion
Suddenly it breaks your stride
Driven by your heart
What a surprise
To open your eyes

Changing with your points of view
She’s standing right in front of you
With nothing but the promises you’ve made
The past it seems is dead and buried
Twenty days you’re getting married
Straight into a life you wouldn’t trade

Chorus

Back into your weary hours
You bring home a dozen flowers
She continues talking on the phone
Reaching for your second drink
It’s giving you the chance to think
That maybe you should spend some time alone

Chorus (Twice)
