Austria: Bobbie Singer - Reflection
Eurovision Song Contest · Eurovision Song Contest 1999 [1999]
When I'm bad, you know that I am better
When you're gone, you're the one that I'm thinking of
When I come, it's to you that I run
There's no need to be lonely
I'll be there everytime for you
Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?
Well, sometimes memories will have to do
But don't you recognize me?
Oh... I'm the one that you have seen
The reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes
They say it's a long way to heaven
But they're wrong, 'cause heaven is you
If I fall from grace everlasting
There you are to make everything new
We can fly forever
Wrap yourself around my emotions
It's only getting better and better
Don't ever think to doubt my devotion
But don't you recognize me?
Oh... I'm the one that you have seen
The reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes, the reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes, the reflection in your eyes
Oh... reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes
But don't you recognize me?
Oh... I'm the one that you have seen
The reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes, the reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes, reflection in your eyes
The reflection in your eyes
