Beautiful Eyes

(album: Borrowed Time - 2017)

Tell me darling how your evening's been
Did it feel as long as mine?
Whether you're downtown and you're drinking on Washington
Or laid down with a glass of wine
Well I haven't seen you in forever
Don't you know it's been a little while?
Now you're in your church pew pageant again
Wearing that same old artificial smile

'Cause you always had your damn sunglasses on
To cover up your honest eyes
They were the one true thing
That revealed your pain
They exposed you from your lies
You got them beautiful eyes

You called me one night when you're drinking
Riding 'round with so called friends
Just go on and tell me how sorry I was
And how you've been happy ever since
But I saw you the very next day
Well it was just by heaven's chance
Got a blue tear rolling down your face
I guess I caught you without that same pair of Ray Bans

'Cause you always had your damn sunglasses on
To cover up your honest eyes
They were the one true thing
That revealed your pain
They exposed you from your lies
You got them beautiful eyes
Got them beautiful eyes

Tell me darling how your evening's been
Did it feel as long as mine?
