Yesterday's Eyes
--words and music by Michael Stanley

from "Coming Up for Air", 1996, Intersound Music



All of the dancers are headed home
  All of the lovers gone their way
She's just standing staring at the phone
  No one to call...nothing to say...

She remembers not that long ago
  She had the whole world in her hand (in her hand)
But for a moment in a stranger's arms
  She broke the heart of one good man

	She says...

		Let the neon wash my sins away
		And I'll believe those jukebox lies
		And you can tell for her...it's just another day
		Of looking at love through
		Yesterday's eyes...

And all that she has now are memories
  Tonight all alone in her room
Knowing that love can be gone
  Like a cool night breeze...
When you want too much too soon...

	She says...

		Let the neon wash my sins away
		And I'll believe those jukebox lies
		And you can tell for her...it's just another day
		Of looking at love through
		Yesterday's eyes...

	She says...

		Let the neon wash my sins away
		And I'll believe those jukebox lies
		And you can tell for her...it's just another day
		Of looking at love through
		Yesterday's eyes...
