[Verse 1]
I hear him before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realise he's there when I turn the light off
And turn over
Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before
Telling me about the sea
All his love, 'til eternity
[Chorus]
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
[Verse 2]
He's very understanding
And he's so aware of all my situations
And when I stay up late
He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate
Oh, I'm so worried about my love
They say, "No, no, it won't last forever."
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And here I am again, my girl
Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here
Maybe he doesn't love me
I just took a trip on my love for him
[Chorus]
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
I hear him before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realise he's there when I turn the light off
And turn over
Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before
Telling me about the sea
All his love, 'til eternity
[Chorus]
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
[Verse 2]
He's very understanding
And he's so aware of all my situations
And when I stay up late
He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate
Oh, I'm so worried about my love
They say, "No, no, it won't last forever."
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And here I am again, my girl
Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here
Maybe he doesn't love me
I just took a trip on my love for him
[Chorus]
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
