I Don't See Me in Your Eyes Anymore
Jim Reeves · Legend Lives On [2005]
I don't see me in your eyes anymore
Oh, why can't I make them shine as before
I don't see you or your heart in a kiss
When you should sigh you're mine, you resist.
There was a time love was fine, life was extasy
But now I doubt what the outcome will be
I pray you'll say I'm the one you adore
And I'll see me in your eyes as before.
--- Instrumental ---
There was a time love was fine, life was extasy
But now I doubt what the outcome will be
I pray you'll say I'm the one you adore
And I'll see me in your eyes as before...
