The Look

I just keep on looking,
The faces all around me seem so cheerful.
It appears to me that everyone
Can get anywhere and have lots of fun…

And for as long as you care
You can achieve a bright career
Human relations, they’re essential,
As essential as breath and air…

Why not you and I ?
What about you and I ?

The look in your eyes
Really craves to identify
With another look,
As bright and shy,

Why not, oh,
Why not you and I ?

And when the day unfolds
On the streams of eternity
And when all that’s predicted
Merely resembles reality

Look what you could do
When you put all hope in it
A smile might raise anew,
And your mighty look changes everything…

What about you and I ?
Why not you and I ?

The look in your eyes
Really craves to identify
With another look,
As bright and shy,

Why not, oh,
Why not you and I ?
