Everytime I See Your Face

Live · Birds of Pray [2003]

I was looking everywhere to find you

By and by, my intentions were good

But I know I don't watch where I'm walking

When I know I should

If the nighttime turns into day before I say what I mean

God damn all these obstacles before me, yeah



Every time I see your face, it's like Heaven opens up her gates

And I fall behind, I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes



If the quicksand of love and deception

Finds a way to come between you and me

Don't fret, I'm gonna cut through the darkness and set us free, yeah

And if you wanna just lay with me darlin, let the mystery silently speak

Take my tongue, take my lungs if you want, I'll even try not to breathe, yeah



Every time I see your face, something overwhelms my heart with grace

And I fall behind, I just close my eyes I just close my eyes

Every time I see your face



I know you are the one (I was looking everywhere to find you)

I know you're more than wonderful

I know you are the one



Every time I see your face, it's like Heaven opens up her gates

And I fall behind, I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes

Every time I see your face, something overwhelms my heart with grace

And I fall behind, I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes

Yeah, oh, oh, yeah

Every time

I see your face

Every time

Every time

Everytime I See Your Face
