Píseň: Come And Let Me Look In Your Eyes

Interpret:
John Denver
Album:
Spirit
I guess growing isn't hard to do 
 Just stand against the wall 
 Once I was just two feet high 
 Today I'm six feet tall 


 But knowing who to listen to 
 Is something else again 
 Words just whistle 'round my head 
 Like seasons in the wind 


 All across the water the clouds are sailing 
 They won't let me look at the sky 
 All I want to do is try and find myself 
 Come and let me look in your eyes 


 In searching for the way to go 
 I've followed all the rules 
 The way they say to choose between 
 The wise men and the fools 


 I listen to the words they say 
 I read what I should read 
 I do whatever's right to do 
 Try to be what I should be 


 Someone let me in I think the sky is falling 
 Seems I've gotten lost on my way 
 All I want to do is try and find myself 
 Come and let me look in your eyes 


 Ah, but wisdom isn't underground 
 Nor on a mountainside 
 And where am I to take myself 
 There's no place here to hide 


 All across the universe the stars are fading 
 Seems we've gotten lost on our way 
 All I want to do is try and find myself 
 Come and let me look in your eyes
