Lyrics

[A different version of this song may be found in Rock II.]

VERSE
It might have been your smile or the way you looked at me
It could’ve been your eyes; to my heart you held the key
But your kiss told the story of everything you were
The one who put my heart and my mind in a blur

CHORUS
(But then) (Oh) You changed, you rearranged
Goodness and light to dark of night
Or had I just realized…
I’d been kissing you with my eyes closed too tight
Telling myself everything was alright
The difference in truth and moonlight
Is I was kissing you with my eyes closed too tight

VERSE
I’ve come to understand I was wrong about your kiss
Good we hadn’t gone too far; too bad about what I’ll miss
But the time has come for me to make my getaway
’Cause deep in the woods sometimes you hear the banjo play

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Now it’s time to say goodbye
There’s a better world waitin’ for me

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yes, I was kissing you with my eyes closed too tight
