"Innocent Eyes" lyrics - 38 SPECIAL

It was a coal black night
I was standing on a pier
I was thinking of a time
When you were here
We were so in love
We were blind to the world
Through the innocent eyes
Of a boy and a girl
Oh baby time goes on
But the memory won't fade
And when I hear that old song
I can't help thinkin' 'bout the love we made

[Chorus:]
One time I'd like to go back
To see better with not so innocent eyes
One time I'd like to do that
If I could find a way
Now that innocent eyes have faded

On the night we met
We danced across the floor
From our first embrace
We were hungry for more
But baby time goes on
But the memory plays games
And when you hear that old song
Do you ever stop thinkin' about the love we made

[Chorus:]
One time I'd like to go back
To see better with not so innocent eyes
One time I'd like to do that
If I could find a way
One night is all that I ask
To see better with not so innocent eyes
One time I'd like to go back
If life would play that way
Oh but innocent eyes fade
