fall inside your eyes

percy sledge

as i look across the room at you

our eyes are joined for just a breath or two

i never finish what i mean to do

i start to trail off

when i'm halfway through

can i fall inside your eyes?

and i'm drowning in your love

but i can't bring to my mind

what it was that i was thinking of

i can feel the sigh with my back to you

as though the sigh was mine and i'm attached to you

it's deep inside your eyes that i'm attracted to

like a moth drawn to a light

i can't stop my headlong flight

can i fall inside your eyes?

and i'm drowning in your love

i can't bring to my mind

what it was that i was thinking of

sounds inside the room seem to fade away

but i don't think i was listening anyway

i can't explain why i feel this way

just one look from you

and there's nothing i can do

can i fall inside your eyes?

and i'm drowning in your love

i can't bring to my mind

just what it was that i was thinking of
