That close-up of her eye, Italian darkness
A vivid dream leaps off the screen
And reverse blurs back into sharpness
Conservations cut off as the little girl came in
You might mean well but how to tell?
The photos that get lost, the steps that get missed
That girl's life is in the photo
And when you look into her eyes, you know…
And now that she's all grown-up
And she found out the darker truth
With the sun in her eyes
She wakes to find a letter of photos from the past
With dark eyes that burn just like hers do
That girl's life is in the photo
When you look into her eyes, you know…
Something went so wrong all that way back
A box of photos now won't act as a payback
You missed out on her, it's too late for the truth
She's grown up pretty great without you
When you look into her eyes, you know…
