Maria's Eyes

Maria’s Eyes

Music: Andrei Konchalovsky

Lyrics and original vocal version: Keith Carradine

I never felt my heart until I looked into your eyes
I never dared to dream until I looked into your eyes
I never thought the joys of love could touch a gypsy like me
Once alone and so free, now my heart longs for you

I never felt the sun until I looked into your eyes
I thought the race was won and then I looked into your eyes
I never needed anyone to sing the songs that I sing
Now the words only ring if I sing them to you

My love is there in your eyes
My soul is bare in your eyes
If I could gaze in your eyes ever more
-it’s the dream I live for-
You can open the door…

I led a life of crime and then I looked into your eyes
My heart became a prisoner when I looked into your eyes
I fell beneath your gaze and felt as though my lies had been seen
All my sins became clean
What a fool I have been

My love is there in your eyes
My soul is bare in your eyes
If I could gaze in your eyes ever more
-it’s the dream I live for-
You can open the door to love
