"Bright Eyes" lyrics

Lullaby all my God
Lullaby oh my child
Singing

Bright lights, big city
Was quite extraordinary
The drive was pretty
I was in perfect company
The love of a lifetime
Since we were elementary friends
The one with the bright eyes...

Why can't I be optimistic?
I tried to find the logic logically
I had a dream and I could not shake it
I was standing up there naked

Lullaby oh my God
Lullaby all night long

There's fear in the truth at hand, frozen I forgot to understand
The live keep living; growing older more into a man...
And I let her grow away from me

Love... love is not pretending
Time... time was meant for mending
Memories into all is satisfactory
Healthy smiles fill the page the day we spent in miles
And I let her drive away from me
And as she left I heard her sing
Let the sun shine in
And face it with a grin
Cause smilers they never lose
And frowners they never win
So let the sun shine in again again again
Face it with a grin and open up your heart child and let the sunshine in

The one with the bright eyes
Laughed her way inside this music box
Stored away in the corner of my heart
And I let her get away from me
But I'll never take that day away from me
