When I Look Into Your Eyes Lyrics - Singles - Romanovsky And Phillips

(Originally titled "Getting Past the Anger," this song was begun 

10 years ago, but never sung... until the anger faded. An 

attempt to close the generation gap.) 

When I look into your eyes 

I don't see any tears 

I know they must be wise 

To be living all these years 

Your heart is full of love 

But you don't know what to say 

How did you show your feelings 

Back in your day? 

How did you love each other? 

What secrets did you share? 

Your eyes are soft and gentle 

But your words don't seem to care 

I would not criticize 

The way you brought me up 

But what was on your mind 

The night you thought me up? 

Your heart is full of kindness 

I can see it every day 

Why do you choose to hide it 

When I say... 

I know you did the best you could 

You did everything a mother should 

Now you tell me that you care for me 

In birthday greeting rhymes 

But I'd like to hear it from your lips 

Just one time 

'Cause I want to understand 

I want to make amends 

Why must a generation 

Put these miles between two friends?
