I want to know how does it feel   Behind those eyes of blue   You've made your mistakes   And now your heart aches   Behind those eyes of blue      People may say you've had your chance   And let it slip away   But hard as they try   There's a dream that won't die   Behind those eyes of blue      Maybe once in a while   There's a trace of a smile   Behind those eyes of blue   But it's painfully clear   There's a river of tears   Behind those eyes of blue      You know life is too short   For comprimising   Take a hold of your dream   And realise it      You know there's nothing left   To stand in your way   Except yourself and I know   Though your hearts full of pain   That a hope still remains   Behind those eyes of blue
