Looking Through Your Eyes

LeAnn Rimes · Sittin' On Top Of The World

Look at the sky, tell me what do you see
Just close your eyes and describe it to me
The heavens are sparkling with starlight tonight
That's what I see through your eyes

I see the heavens each time that you smile
I hear your heartbeat just go on for miles
And suddenly I know my life is worthwhile
That's what I see through your eyes

Here in the night, I see the sun
Here in the dark, our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands, we can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes.

I look at myself and instead I see us
Whoever I am, now it feels like enough
And I see a girl who is learning to trust
That's who I see through your eyes

Here in the night, I see the sun
Here in the dark, our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands, we can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes.

And there are some things we don't know
Sometimes a heart just needs to grow
And there is so much that I'll remember
Underneath the open sky, with you forever

Here in the night, I see the sun
Here in the dark, our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands, we can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes.
Looking through your eyes.

Looking Through Your Eyes

LeAnn Rimes delivers a tender ballad on Looking Through Your Eyes, a standout track from her 2002 album Sittin' On Top Of The World. During this era, Rimes was navigating a shift in her musical identity, moving beyond the country-pop crossover dominance of her early career to explore more mature, emotive themes. The recording captures her signature vocal clarity and emotional depth, hallmarks that have defined her extensive discography. While the album showcased her willingness to experiment with different production styles, this song remains a poignant example of her ability to convey intimacy and vulnerability. It stands as a significant song in her body of work, reflecting the artistic growth she demonstrated during the early 2000s as she continued to refine her sound across genres.
