I Believe My Own Eyes Testo

As performed in the musical "tommy"
With alistair robins as mr. walker
Written by pete townsend
Alistair: this can❝t continue
It makes no sense
We❝re getting nowhere
I❝ve lost all my confidence
The boy wants something
Unsatisfied
He needs attention
And care our love can❝t provide
And then, there❝s the matter of us
I❝d like to prove
That I don❝t think you❝ve seen the best of me
I❝ve stood up for the boy
And I❝ve clung to the hopes and the lies
I wished that the pain in your gaze
Could again be a test of me
But when I look in the mirror
I believe my own eyes
I believe my own eyes
Now I❝ve come to the end
All my patience is gone
When I❝m doubtful I tend
To believe my own eyes
Kim: I❝d like to declare
This devotion and care is a life to live
That nothing has changed
And the time isn❝t passing us by
But I have to say here
That for us there is a clear-cut alternative
When we look at eachother
We believe our own eyes
Both: I believe my own eyes
Now I❝ve come to the end
All my patience is gone
When I❝m doubtful I tend
To believe my own eyes
This has gone far enough
After all we❝ve been through
We can be brave
We done all we can humanly do
It❝s a time to be tough
A time to be wise
We must stop chasing our dreams and recover our lives
I believe my own eyes
Now I❝ve come to the end
All my patience is gone
When I❝m doubtful I tend
To believe...
I❝d like to believe
But I don❝t think that we❝ve seen the best of us
And a way to believe is to see where the real future lies
I hope that the pain in your gaze can again be a test of me
And when I look in the mirror
I believe my own eyes
Let❝s believe our own eyes
No we❝ve come to the end
All our patience is gone
Let❝s admit we intend to believe our own eyes
Kim: ... to believe our own eyes
