this is a song for you

though perhaps some others will hear

this is a song for you

when you cant be near



now I dont want to play the poet

or the clever clown

just want to take hold of these feelings

and pin them down



cause maybe its just a mirage that Im seeing

some maverick gleam

a trick of the way the light falls in a dream



oh Ive never seen eyes like yours

brown in a circle of blue

like the sky round the earth

when the sun comes shining through



and when you turn those eyes to me

well I hardly know what to do

I see the sky round the earth

I see me in a circle of you



but maybe its just a mirage that Im seeing

some maverick gleam

a trick of the way the light falls in a dream



well you know that Im hard to live with

sometimes Im downright mean

but you make me feel I could love you

love you like youve never seen



and I thought it was just a mirage

some maverick gleam

a trick of the way the light falls in a dream



but I think finally this time

I can trust the view

see how the light holds steady

when its coming from you



so this is a song for you

though perhaps some others will hear

this is a song for you

when you cant be near
