KIM WILDE - I believe my own eyes lyrics

rate me

as performed in the musical "Tommy"

with Alistair Robins as mr. Walker

Written by Pete Townsend

Alistair: This can't continue

It makes no sense

we're getting nowhere

I've lost all my confidence

The boy wants something

unsatisfied

He needs attention

and care our love can't provide

And then, there's the matter of us

I'd like to prove

that I don't think you've seen the best of me

I've stood up for the boy

and I've clung to the hopes and the lies

I wished that the pain in your gaze

could again be a test of me

but when I look in the mirror

I believe my own eyes

I believe my own eyes

Now I've come to the end

All my patience is gone

When I'm doubtful I tend

to believe my own eyes

Kim: I'd like to declare

This devotion and care is a life to live

That nothing has changed

and the time isn't passing us by

But I have to say here

that for us there is a clear-cut alternative

When we look at eachother

We believe our own eyes

Both: I believe my own eyes

Now I've come to the end

All my patience is gone

When I'm doubtful I tend

To believe my own eyes

This has gone far enough

after all we've been through

We can be brave

We done all we can humanly do

It's a time to be tough

A time to be wise

We must stop chasing our dreams and recover our lives

I believe my own eyes

Now I've come to the end

All my patience is gone

When I'm doubtful I tend

To believe...

I'd like to believe

But I don't think that we've seen the best of us

And a way to believe is to see where the real future lies

I hope that the pain in your gaze can again be a test of me

and when I look in the mirror

I believe my own eyes

Let's believe our own eyes

No we've come to the end

All our patience is gone

Let's admit we intend to believe our own eyes

Kim: ... to believe our own eyes
