Prettiest Eyes Lyrics

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 had nowhere to stay 
Well the bus-shelter's always OK 
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 25th of Decembers 
Fifty-nine 4th 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 

Lets take a look at these crows feet, just look 
Sitting on the prettiest eyes 
Sixty 25th of Decembers 
Fifty-nine 4th 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
