I want to know how does it feel Behind those eyes of blue You've made your mistakes And now your heart aches Behind those eyes of blue People may say you've had your chance And let it slip away But hard as they try There's a dream that won't die Behind those eyes of blue Maybe once in a while There's a trace of a smile Behind those eyes of blue But it's painfully clear There's a river of tears Behind those eyes of blue You know life is too short For compromising Take a hold of your dream And realize it You know there's nothing left To stand in your way Except yourself and I know Though your hearts full of pain That a hope still remains Behind those eyes of blue
