In Your Eyes – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
What on earth am I meant to do?
In this crowded place there is only you
Was gonna leave now I have to stay
You have taken my breath away
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Is the world still spinning around?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I don't feel like coming down
It's in your eyes
I can tell what you're thinking
My heart is sinking too
It's no surprise
I've been watching you lately
I want to make it with you
...
Destiny has a funny way
When it comes and takes all your cares away
I can't think of a single thing
Other than what a beautiful state I'm in
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Is the world still spinning around?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I don't feel like coming down
It's in your eyes
I can tell what you're thinking
My heart is sinking too
It's no surprise
I've been watching you lately
I want to make it with you
...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Is the world still spinning around?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I don't feel like coming down
It's in your eyes
I can tell what you're thinking
My heart is sinking too
It's no surprise
I've been watching you lately
I want to make it with you
It's in your eyes
I can tell what you're thinking
My heart is sinking too
It's no surprise
I've been watching you lately
I want to make it with you
It's in your eyes
I can tell what you're thinking
My heart is sinking too
It's no surprise
I've been watching you lately
I want to make it with you
It's in your eyes
...
