Boy with Chinese Eyes Lyrics by John Illsley

Never Told a Soul

0

On a clear summer morning
A black woman in while
We've waited for so long
Three hundred days and nights
Soft music warms the air
Feel the temperature rise
Say hello to this bright new world
To the boy with Chinese eyes
You take me to places I never thought I would go
You bring out the child inside
A lonely child waited so long to know
It's so easy to love you
It's no trouble at all
We're part of the same world now
I wonder if you'll be tall
Are you real let me touch you
English summer surprise
Sweet smile full of wonder
From a boy with Chinese eyes
You helped turn back the pages I'm under your spell
So much to experience
Those Chinese Eyes will soon have their own story to tell
I remember when I was young that crazy first sailboat ride
Memories dance round inside my head
Appear in my dreams a chance to see the other side
Come dance through the fire with me
Come play with the game
We'll change all the rules again
We can give them other names
You reach out to touch
That plane high in the skies
J-J-dance to the guitar sound
Boy with Chinese eyes
You take me to places I never thought I would go
You bring out the child inside
A lonely child waited so long to know
