Black Eyes

(album: The New Now - 2020)

A silver line around your velvet eyes
I know in heaven mama cries for you
So many times you couldn't get along
I still don't know what happened to your love

But I still miss you every minute, every day and every hour
I still feel the warmth you gave me though time's no longer ours

Now sometimes I've got these Black Eyes
And they get darker than a thunderstorm
In the middle of a conversation
Even in the chorus of a song

Ooh the these Black Eyes keep me worried
These Black Eyes can't keep holding on
And for years I've wondered where those eyes keep coming from

There are so many stories that I don't know
A lot of them happened so long ago
I felt it, that time when you were leaving
The thought of that continued in your heartbeat

But I still miss you every minute, every day and every hour
I still feel the warmth you gave me though time's no longer ours

Now sometimes I've got these Black Eyes
And they get darker than a thunder storm
In the middle of a conversation
Even in the chorus of a song

Now these Black Eyes keep me worried
These Black Eyes can't keep holding on
And for years I've wondered where those eyes keep coming from

But I still miss you every minute, every day and every hour
I still feel the warmth you gave me though time's no longer ours

Now sometimes I've got these Black Eyes
And they get darker than a thunder storm
In the middle of a conversation
Even in the chorus of a song

Now these Black Eyes keep me worried
These Black Eyes can't keep holding on
And for years I've wondered where those eyes keep coming from
And for years I've wondered where those eyes keep coming from
