Open Up Your Eyes

(album: The Hollies At Abbey Road 1966-1970 - 1998)

Open up your eyes, looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling
Open up your eyes, looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling, smiling

Wake in the morning, look out of my window
Down on the street as the people pass by
Wonderful faces, awake but asleep
Rushing around with appointments to keep
Rushing around with appointments to keep

Bald-headded banker, with bowler on head
Credit for debit still in the red
School girl in pigtails and freckly nose
Trying to remember her latin prose
Trying to remember her latin prose

Open up your eyes, looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling
Open up your eyes, looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling, smiling

Open up your eyes, open up your eyes
Open up your eyes, open up your eyes
Isn't it surprising what you'll find?

[Break]

Open up your eyes, open up your eyes
What are they thinkin'? What's on their minds?
Are they all looking for something to find?
Decreasing circles, running around
Searching for something they've already found
Searching for something they've already found

Open up your eyes, looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling
Open up your eyes, looking at the people
Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smiling

Open up your eyes, looking at the people
