So far, my obsession has been with “Dreams” (A DREAM FOR MY HEART/YESTERDAY’S DREAMS) and now “Eyes” (OPEN MY EYES/SUNSET EYES). Something about this song rubbed certain people the wrong way and that affected my writing in a negative way for a long time. Opinions as to why are welcomed. The lyrics, as always, are listed below. The title is the audio link.
SUNSET EYES
Melody and Lyrics by Walter J. Wojtanik – © 1985
Listening to the sea birds call, and thinking,
as a hint of nightfall fills the skies.
Off on the horizon, girl, I see you .
looking deep into your Sunset Eyes.
I can feel your amber arms caress me.
the smile upon your face, it soothes and warms.
Glowing face of angels, you possess me,
Sunset Eyes protect me from the storm.
Your sparkling water’s flashing,
your waves are softly crashing here on the sand.
Charging, then returning back to the sea.
Your gentle hands keep falling,
your spraying softness calling, calling my name.
Sunset Eyes return your love to me.
Why is it you tease me with your wonder,
Make me want to take you in my arms?
Unashamed, you cast this spell I’m under.
Sunset Eyes embrace me with your charms.
Your face is always changing,
expressions rearranging there on the sand.
Chameleon of colors there in the skies.
Our looks are ones of sorrow,
but we’ll be back tomorrow, standing in time.
Gazing deep into your Sunset Eyes.
Listening to the ocean’s song, and thinking,
as a hint of nightfall fills the skies.
Searching my horizon, girl, to see you.
It’s so good to see you, Sunset Eyes.
It’s so good to love you, Sunset Eyes.
I’m so glad I love you, Sunset Eyes.
