TALKING EYES

I remember when you pulled my hair
Waiting in the line
Followed me up the ladder
And shoved me down the slide

I was only six years old
So of course I had to cry
Took a lot of years to see
What was waiting in your eyes

There was the fifth grade
Recess at our school
We were playing baseball
You were trying to be cool

I know it was an accident
You didn't mean to make me fall
I was running to the next base
All you did was throw the ball

It wasn't that my knee was scraped
The reason why I cried
It was the hurt look on your face
And what I saw in your eyes

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Oh...Eyes do the talking
No sound has to be heard
I could see love reflecting
You didn't have to say a word
Oh...we were too young
I got up
I walked away
But I heard everything
Your eyes had to say
~~*~~

When we finished eighth grade
There was a graduation dance
I found you standing next to me
Knew it was not by chance

I admitted I was nervous
I had never danced before
It was the first time you held me
I kept staring at the floor

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~
Cause...Your eyes were talking
No sound had to be heard
I could see love reflecting
You didn't have to say a word
We were still too young
The song stopped
I walked away
But I heard everything
Your eyes had to say
~~*~~

High school kept me busy
Concentrating on good grades
But you were ever-present
I got used to things that way

So when you didn't come to school
For three days in a row
I had to see what happened
Felt a burning need to know

I pulled into your driveway
Saw that your car was wrecked
I pounded on the front door
My heart a total mess

You answered it on crutches
Smiling in surprise
And I knew I was the mirror
To what I've seen in your eyes

~~~*Finale*~~~
Yes, your eyes were talking
No sound had to be heard
I could see love reflecting
You didn't have to say a word
Ready for your love
I won't ever walk away
Boy I've heard everything
Your eyes had to say
~~*~~
