I wanna look into your eyes again
I wanna look into the windows of your soul...again, again

Who's to know where time will lead us now?
I can't believe this is happening now
I'm not scared, I'm just wondering how
I wanna see your eyes
All the time we've shared between us now
The feeling I have needs me to make a vow
Now as I leave I must return somehow
Cause I wanna see your eyes

When I look at you I fumble, my confidence takes a tumble
But when I look into your eyes, I just crumble
'Cos I know that it's you that my heart burns for
That it's you that I'm yearning for

Who's to know where time will lead us now
I can't believe this is happening now
Well I'm not scared, I'm just wondering how
I wanna see your eyes, I wanna make it right

Simply Red is a British soul and pop band. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators, whose seven-year run produced limited releases on local labels and ended in 1984 upon critical acclaim for their final single, “Holding Back the Years”.

By early 1985, Mick Hucknall and manager Elliot Rashman had assembled a band of local session musicians and begun to attract record company attention. The group adopted the name “Red” (after Hucknall’s nickname, denoting his hair colour) but then Mick decided it would sound better with the addition of the word ‘Simply.’

Since the mid 1980s, the band has sold more than 50 million albums.
