Lyrics
Girl, as we take a long last look at this love
Before you go baby, I've got to know
(I've got to know, was it ever true?)
Was it ever true?
(I've got to hear it from you)
Girl, I can take one more hurt in this heart
Before you go baby, I've got to know
(I've got to know, was it ever true)
Was it ever true?
(I've got to hear it from you)
Not like before
We were lost in a whirling dance
Never slowing down
Long enough to give truth a chance
To come out
So that the light could shine in
And open your eyes
Open your eyes baby (if it's not real, there's no reason to frown)
Open babe, open your eyes
Open your eyes now (let's not let what never was bring us down)
I've got to know
(I've got to know, was it ever true?)
Was it ever true?
I've got to hear it from you
Not like before
We were lost in a whirling dance
Never slowing down
Long enough to give truth a chance
To come out
So that the light could shine in
And open your eyes
Open your eyes now baby (if it's not real, there's no reason to frown)
Oh, baby, open your eyes
Open your eyes now
(Let's not let what never was bring us down)
Open your eyes, baby (open your eyes)
Yeah, yeah (if it's not real, there's no reason to frown)
Yeah, yeah (open your eyes)
