Eyes of a Child Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She will come whenever I call her
But she'll leave as soon as I sigh
She's got the eyes of a child
And she'll love without any sorrow
For she just aims for the heart
She's got the eyes of a child

[Chorus]
She'll forgive and she'll be forgiven
For she's got the eyes of a child

[Verse 2]
And I love her because she's so brave
And I hate her because she fights
She's got the eyes of a child
What she wants, she's always seemed to have
What she hates, she just let it dies
She's got the eyes of a child

[Chorus]
She forgot, but I won't forget her
She's got the eyes of a child

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
What is it that's so bright about her?
That made me so full of lies
She's got the eyes of a child
I recall I've never felt that young
She stole what's left of my heart
She's got the eyes of a child

[Chorus]
I wish that I never met her
For she's got the eyes of a child

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
And I wish I never met her
She's got the eyes of a child

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
