I'm lost again and I'm on the run

Looking for love in a sad song

With your avenger eyes and your catlike ways I can hold you

You are a fool for me to be cruel

I'm leaning on this bar listening to you sing

And your sad song rings in my ears and I start to cry

He's searching

She's showing

See him held in a deep, deep spell

He knows she's glowing

I can find within my mind a way to go

I can look deep into your light and shout

Hold me

Hold me

Hold me

Hold me

Hold me

I hear the saxophone and it tears my soul

And we're feeling old, feeling so cold

She is the torch and she is the theme

She could be a dream but - oh boy - is she real

Try to avoid her eyes, to avoid her words

They will hit you with all that you feel

He's searching

She's showing

See him held in a deep, deep spell

He knows she's glowing

I can find within my mind a way to go

I can look deep into your light and shout

Hold me

Hold me

Hold me

Hold me

Hold me

See her eyes they are bright tonight

See the stars coming out tonight

See the moon looking down tonight

See how they light your way tonight


[Cindy]

See my eyes they are bright tonight

See my hands reaching out tonight

Hear my words they are dynamite

See how they light your way tonight


[Marc & Cindy]

See her eyes they are bright tonight

See the stars coming out tonight

See the moon looking down tonight

See how they light your way tonight


[Marc]

See her eyes they are bright tonight

See how they light your way tonight
