Open Your Eyes
Lizzie McGuire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking in all the wrong places
When all of the time you've been blind to love
It's plain as the nose on your faces
It's here, it's now, open your eyes and see it
Right here, right now, open your eyes to love
Wondering why love has never found you
Don't you know its been right here all along
If only you look around you
It's here, it's now, open your eyes and see it
Right here, right now, open your eyes to love
Love has been right by your side
But, oh so close that you couldn't see
If love could speak, it would shout to the sky
I've always been here and I always will be...
I'm here, I'm now, open your eyes and see me,
Right here, right now, open your eyes to love.
Open your eyes...
Open your eyes to love.
Open your heart to love.
