Eyes On Me
performed by Faye Wong
Lyrics and tune by ?

Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy?
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar

My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh did you ever know?
That I had mine on you.

*Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer

So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know?
That I had mine on you.

Darling so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming<

*repeat

=============================

I know that the English in some parts of this song is truly abysmal. But given that it's written by a Japanese (I'm pretty sure of that, though I still haven't yet remembered who exactly it is).... not that I'm saying Japanese people necessarily have bad English, mind you. I like the idea though. If that's OK with you. ;)
