Lyrics
I walk the lonely streets,I watch the people passing by.I used to smile and say hello.Guess I was just a happy guy.Then you happened, girl,This feeling that possesses me.I just can’t move myself.I guess it all just had to be.I can’t see nobody, no, I can’t see nobody.Mine eyes can only look at you, you.I used to have a brain, I used to think of many things.I watched the falling rain and listened to the sweet birds sing.Don’t ask me why, little girl.I love you and that’s all I can say.You’re ev’ry ,ev’ry breath I take.You are my nights; my night and day.I can’t see nobody, no, I can’t see nobody.Mine eyes can only look at you, you.Every single word you hearIs coming from this heart of mine.I never felt like this beforeA love like yours so young and fine.And now as I try to forget youIt doesn’t work out any way.I loved you such a long time agoBut in my eyes you’ll always be.Every single word you hearIs coming from this heart of mine.I loved you such a long time agoDon’t know why,And I don’t know why, babyI can’t see nobody, no, I can’t see nobody.Mine eyes can only look at you, you.I can’t see nobody, no, I can’t see nobody.Mine eyes can only look at you, you.
