🎵 Something In Your Eyes Tonight (60s single)

Something in your eyes tonight
Soft and warm and shining bright

Looking at you
Raging
Right on cue

Never forget
Where we could be.
Never forget
What others see.

Why There Are Multiple Versions
Sometimes a song doesn’t arrive once.
It arrives in layers.
I write the lyric.

Blossom leans over hedgerows white,
Daffodils flare in yellow light,
Bluebells ring in woodland air,
Primroses whisper, winter’s not there.

This is what happens when we are lucky.
Too many songs to choose from – just keep em all …
Verse 1
We woke in beds,

🎵 Something In Your Eyes Tonight (After Love)

Soft light morning
Daybreak stirs

The Measure You Use
Verse 1
You hold the line so high and straight
You say it’s love, you say it’s fate

Verse 1
As the year slips quietly away,
we lift our eyes to brighter days,
another dawn, another start,

Verse 1
He nearly caught the morning train
Nearly said the words he meant
Nearly won, nearly stayed

Blossom leans over hedgerows white,
Daffodils flare in yellow light,
Bluebells ring in woodland air,
Primroses whisper, winter’s not there.

Verse 1
They say, “From Dave,” and close the card
Ink runs dry, no wishing heart
No warmth spoken, nothing shared

Ahhh…
Listen…
Verse 1 (Male Lead – calm authority)
Before the noise, before the rush

Mm…
A stillness gathers…
Section I — Foundation (Full Choir)

Verse 1
Room feels smaller
Words still here
Two closed doors

Opening
Ahhh
Mm
Verse I

It seems to me
Our cosmic friends
Are here.
Words are heard, ones of fear

[Verse]
In the quiet of the twilight,
When the city's lost its fight,
We sway softly, oh so gently,

Looking at you
Looking at her
Tears in your eyes
With a blank stare

Is it all over now
Is our magic gone
The beauty we had
Are we all done now

(Verse 1)
I held you close, my precious child,
Through every tear, through every mile.
Your laughter echoes in my heart,

“Aria for a Friend”
(Opening)
Oh, friend so dear, whose light has shone,
A beacon bright, though you are gone.

“The Tempest Within”
[Opening Verse] (Soft, brooding)
Oh, anger, thy name, a fire untamed,
A shadow cast, a soul inflamed.

[Opening Verse] (Soft, mournful)
Oh, sorrow, thy name, a quiet song,
A shadow deep, where I belong.
Thy veil, it falls like autumn rain,

[Opening Verse] (Soft, radiant)
Oh, joy, thy name, a golden light,
A boundless glow, a heart’s delight.
Thy wings, they lift, they carry high,

I can’t think
When I see him
There with you
My minds gone

“When I See Her”
(Verse 1 – Soft, emotional)
I can’t think… when I see her… there with you,
My mind’s gone… when I see her… it’s all I can do.

Blossom leans over hedgerows white,
Daffodils flare in yellow light,
Bluebells ring in woodland air,
Primroses whisper, winter’s not there.

I can’t think
When I see her
There with you
My minds gone

Lost Love
Lyrics – Michael Forty

[Verse]
Whispering shadows in the moonlight
Echoes of you still haunt the night
Your empty words like broken glass

[Verse]
Stars are shining blue and green
Spaceships hum like old machines
Galaxies where we've been

[Verse]
Walking down this crowded street
Eyes meet hearts skip two beats
In a whirlwind of desire

[Verse]
In the heart of Swindon town
Where dreams decide to drown
Neon signs that steal your soul

[Verse]
You were the spark in the dark night
Lighting up moments that felt so right
Not a single thing could slow us down
