Gentle Thing
Graham Nash · Other Songs - Graham Nash
She moves with a whispering
She waits for my mind to slow
And then I'm hers to know
Have you seen her love eyes?
Watching me, her love eyes
We lay in Hawaii's sun
The water will make us one
The sleep of peace will come
The end of trouble has begun
Have you seen her love eyes?
Watching me, her love eyes ooh
