Lyrics
Sugar Eyes
I was mesmerized
You held out your hand to me
Sugar Eyes
Lit from behind
You pulled me in
You pulled me in
Let me wrap my arms around you
Let me be the one to save you
I can shelter you from the storm
I can shield you
I can shield you
Sugar Eyes
Lit from behind
Golden Amber
Soul's raging fire
Sugar eyed, dripping honey
You melted this old heart of mine
You told a tale of a love so tragic
You told a tale of a life un-lived
You were grasping
You were desperate
My Sugar Eyes
Dearest Sugar Eyes
Sugar Eyes
I was mesmerized
You held out your hand to me
Sugar Eyes
Lit from behind
Now all that's left is a memory
