Prettiest Eyes Lyrics - Singles - Beautiful South The

Line one is the time 

That you, you first stayed over at mine 

And we drank our first bottle of wine 

And we cried 

Line two we're away 

And we both, we both, both had nowhere to stay 

Well now the bus-shelter's always okay 

When you're young 

Now you're older and I look at your face 

Every wrinkle is so easy to place 

And I only write them down just in case 

That you die 

Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look 

Sitting on the prettiest eyes 

Sixty twenty fifth of Decembers 

Fifty-nine fourth of Julys 

Not through the age or the failure, children 

Not through the hate or despise 

Take a good look at these crows feet 

Sitting on the prettiest eyes 

Line three I forget 

But I think, I think it was our first ever bet 

And the horse we backed was short of a leg 

Never mind 

Line four in a park 

And the things, the things that people do in the dark 

I could hear the faintest beat of your heart 

Then we did 

Now you're older and I look at your face 

Every wrinkle is so easy to place 

And I only write them down just in case 

You should die 

Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look 

Sitting on the prettiest eyes 

Sixty twenty fifth of Decembers 

Fifty-nine fourth of Julys 

You can't have too many good times, children 

You can't have too many lines 

Take a good look at these crows feet 

Sitting on the prettiest eyes 

Well my eyes look like a map of the town 

And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown 

But you'll never hear the crack 

Of a frown when you are here 

You'll never hear the crack of a frown 

Of a frown, of a frown, of a frown
