I Can Still See Him in Your Eyes

George Jones · A Good Year For The Roses

We were sitting at the table and we saw your old flame

You grew restless as he passed by

Though you say you can hardly remember his name

I can still see him in your eyes.

Oh, when you whisper sweet words to me

I don't hear them for I realize

Should our love grow dim you'd go back to him

I can still see him in your eyes.

Though you say, all over between you and him

And it's only me you idolize

Then why is it when you see him enter the room

I can still see him in your eyes.

Oh, when you whisper sweet words to me

I don't hear them for I reply

It's just a matter of time till you leave me behind

I can still see him your eyes.

I can still see him in your eyes...
