My Eyes Can Only See As Far As You My eyes can only see as far as you I stop searching all the faces in the crowd I don't ever want to find somebody new I'm content with loneliness if you're not in my arms For my eyes can only see as far as you My heart is set on loving you forever And your love is strong enough to see me through It'll keep me holding on to you forever Cause my eyes can only see as far as you It'll keep me holding on to you forever Cause my eyes can only see as far as you Yes, my eyes can only see as far as you
