Steve Poltz - Light In Your Eyes

Saw a guy get his tooth pulled in Morocco
In a jam-packed square in Marrakesh
By a so-called dentist with a monkey on a leash
With a pair of pliers in his palms
And the dentist would pull on the monkey's arm
And the monkey would yank on the tooth
And the patient was screaming in terror and fear
And the crowd was starting to cheer

Well, I've seen a lot of things
Huge shiny diamond rings
And I've seen two grown men cry
But I never saw the light
Like I did in your eyes
The light in your eyes

Saw a guy get sick on a rolling ship
In the middle of a storm on the North Sea
And that storm was so rough and i thought I would die
That ship felt as light as a toy
And I prayed all night on my hands and my knees
'Til the storm finally let up
And the captain let out a yell and a cry
As the sun burst through from the sky
Well, I've seen a lot of things
Huge shiny diamond rings
And I've seen two grown men cry
But I never saw the light
Like I did in your eyes
The light in your eyes

Saw my sister give birth to my niece in a room
In a hospital in San Diego
She asked if I'd take pictures of the whole she-bang
I smiled when she made me the offer
But when I got in the room and it started to happen
My hands couldn't move and my legs were stuck
The doctor just laughed and my sister just sighed
I was frozen in time and I started to cry

Well, I've seen a lot of things
Huge shiny diamond rings
And I've seen two grown men cry
But I never saw the light
Like I did in your eyes
The light in your eyes...
