lyrics

**************************************
When I wake up in the morning,
In the morning, I wish you were there.
But every time that things could work out right,
Things don't work out right; it isn't fair.
I've been trying hard to tell you,
Hard to tell you when you don't care.

And I see you every time I close my eyes,
You know, I see you.
Yes, I see you every time I close my eyes.
I see you, a vision so persistent in my mind
I see you, I see you every time I close my eyes.

I see nothing wrong in saying,
Wrong in saying what I feel about you,
But my tongue gets tied and butterflies inside
Override what I had to say... (uh huh...)
So whenever we're together,
Small talk about the weather or some stupid thing.

And I see you every time I close my eyes,
You know, I see you.
Yes, I see you every time I close my eyes.
I see you, a vision so persistent in my mind
I see you, I see you every time I close my eyes.

And I see you every time I close my eyes,
You know, I see you.
Yes, I see you every time I close my eyes.
I see you, a vision so persistent in my mind
I see you, I see you every time I close my eyes.

(1991 Nimyonta Music)

If I was in my car anytime from September 2018 for the next eight or nine months, this CD was playing. It never left the CD player. It's that good. tim nelson

Ocean Songs

If you've never heard The Dirty Three, you need to. If you've heard them once or just a few times and thought "Yeah, they're alright" then you need to hear more. An acquired taste, but habit-forming. tim nelson
