Lyrics

Looking Back Through the Eyes of Years Gone By
Verse 1
There’s an old road running through my memory
Where younger footsteps used to roam
I can still see that restless dreamer
Chasing sunsets far from home
He thought the world would last forever
He thought his heart would never bend
He didn’t know the miles ahead
Or where the winding road would end
Pre-Chorus
Time was something he spent freely
Like a coin he’d never lose
Chorus
Now I’m looking back through the eyes of years gone by
Through the laughter and the tears I can’t deny
Every wrong turn, every broken dream
Every moment in between
Looking back through the eyes of years gone by
Verse 2
I see the faces that once walked beside me
Some still here and some long gone
I hear the echoes of old conversations
Drifting softly like a song
There were loves that lit the darkness
There were nights that cut me deep
And memories that warm my heart
And some I’d rather let sleep
Pre-Chorus
Funny how the heart remembers
What the mind once tried to hide
Chorus
Now I’m looking back through the eyes of years gone by
Through the sunshine and the storms beneath the sky
Every scar and every victory
Every lesson life gave me
Looking back through the eyes of years gone by
Bridge
If I could whisper to that younger man
Running wild and feeling free
I’d tell him every joy and sorrow
Will shape the man he’s going to be
But I wouldn’t change a single mile
Or rewrite a single day
Because every road that led me here
Is the reason I can say
Final Chorus
I’m looking back through the eyes of years gone by
Seeing clearly what once passed me by
Every love and every goodbye
Every truth I once denied
Looking back through the eyes of years gone by
Outro
And the road ahead grows shorter now
But the story still runs high…
When you’re looking back
Through the eyes of years gone by
