Sparkle Eyes

Oh Woman don't you know me

Has it been so long that you forgot

I thought of you just yesterday

My time it has been dragging

Please don't turn your face away

And I've changed girl but so have you

It's in your eyes

I knowWhere did the sparkle go

God I wish

I never had seen you looking this way

Sparkle eyes used to shine ev'ry day

Can't recall just who was wrong

Guess it doesn't matter now

But it hurts to feel your sadness

To dredge the past

I've no desire

Faceless fountains cooled your fire

And to see the life you've led

Where did the sparkle flow

It was mine not long ago

Sparkle Eyes used to smile at the rain

Where did the sparkle go

Don't I wish that

I could see it again

Now if I only knew where to begin

Girl I'd try to break your fall and stop your spin

And I'm looking at a strange and empty face

If I had only never seen you lookin' this way

But time has changed us both too many ways

Those faceless fountains they cooled your fire

And your eyes used to shine every day

You don't know how

I wish I could see it again

It was mine not so very long ago

Your eyes would laugh at the rain

Where did the sparkle go

I just can't stand to watch you goin' down slow
