Behind Susan’s Eyes Lyrics by Dion

New Masters

2003

[Verse 1]
Was this the girl who caught my eye
Three lockers down from mine
Who floated through the schoolyard lines
And taught the sun to shine
[Verse 2]
Was I the boy who sang his dreams
While thinking just of you
A shadow in the moonlight night
On Belmont Avenue
[Pre-Chorus]
Whoah, were we the pair who danced alone
Upon the rooftop high
The moon glows on the radio beneath the diamond sky
[Chorus]
If I knew all the answers
I'd win the Nobel prize
But I'm content to know they lie behind Susan's eyes
Behind Susan's eyes
[Verse 3]
And wasn't I the rebel king
Turning wild 17
While you saw through my fantasies
A neighborhood saw James Dean
[Verse 4]
Was this the girl who laughed at me
But finally wore my ring
Who really voiced the soft complaint
And anchored everything
[Pre-Chorus]
And didn't we just run away
Through all the fields of gold
Where we could stay forever young
We never would grow old
Never would grow old
[Chorus]
If I knew all the answers
I'd win the Nobel prize
But I'm content to know they lie behind Susan's eyes
Behind Susan's eyes
[Verse 5]
Was I the man who broke your heart
In 10,000 little ways
With all the pain in the passing years
And the sleepless nights and days
[Verse 6]
But didn't all those years sail by
With laughter and some tears
Those newborn fingers holding ours
Among our souvenirs
[Chorus]
If I knew all the answers
I'd win the Nobel prize
But I'm content to know they lie
Behind Susan's eyes
Behind Susan's eyes
[Verse 7]
Weren't tiny feet upon the sand
A blend of you and me
Young barefoot strangers on the beach
In living fantasy
[Verse 8]
Well, isn't life an endless song
Just slightly out of rhyme
And didn't you play every note
That echoed down through time
[Pre-Chorus and Chorus]
Oh, weren't we just a storybook
Whoah, much more than we seemed
I think I'd thank the lord above
Who gave me all my dreams
Who gave me all my dreams
Gave me all my dreams
Was this the girl who caught my eye
