Lyrics: Doobie Brothers. Minute By Minute. Open Your Eyes.

Girl, as we take a long last look at this love,
before you go, baby, I've got to know.
I got to know, was it ever true?
Was it ever true, girl?
I 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, girl?
I 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.

Open your eyes. Open your eyes, 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.

I got to know.
I got to know, was it ever true?
Was it ever true, girl?
I 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.

Open your eyes. Open your eyes, 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.

Repeat and fade
