Prettiest Eyes Lyrics

    (heaton/rotheray)
    Line one is the time
    That you, you first stayed over at mine
    And we drank our first bottle of wine
    And we cried

    Line two we're away
    And we both, we both had nowhere to stay
    Well the bus-shelter's always ok
    When you're young

    Now you're older and i look at your face
    Every wrinkle is so easy to place
    And i only write them down just in case
    That you die

    Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look
    Sitting on the prettiest eyes
    Sixty 25th of decembers
    Fifty-nine 4th of julys
    Not through the age or the failure, children
    Not through the hate or despise
    Take a good look at these crows feet
    Sitting on the prettiest eyes

    Line three i forget
    But i think, i think it was our first ever bet
    And the horse we backed was short of a leg
    Never mind

    Line four in a park
    And the things, the things that people do in the dark
    I could hear the faintest beat of your heart
    Then we did

    Now you're older and i look at your face
    Every wrinkle is so easy to place
    And i only write them down just in case
    You should die

    Lets take a look at these crows feet, just look
    Sitting on the prettiest eyes
    Sixty 25th of decembers
    Fifty-nine 4th of julys
    You can't have too many good times, children
    You can't have too many lines
    Take a good look at these crows feet
    Sitting on the prettiest eyes

    Well my eyes look like a map of the town
    And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown
    But you'll never hear the crack of a frown
    When you are here
    You'll never hear the crack
    Of a frown
