Come and Let Me Look in Your Eyes

John Denver · Gold: Greatest Hits [2008]

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
