When I Looked Into Your Eyes

George Strait · Other Songs - George Strait

there you were

sitten on the patio.

watchin the moon and the stars.

here I was watching them twinkle in your eyes.

I never saw anything

so beautiful as you



chourse:

when I look into your eyes

they were all so beautiful

here we are talkin about forever



then as soon you walked out that door. my heart was broken in two.

just hurts as hell I told you before that I tried.



then I saw you in the movies

I didn't even tell you before that....i loved you and I still do

oh I still do forever and ever

till the last day of my life

chourse2x

I always will till the last day of my life
