Born and raised in west London, Collins played drums from the age of five and completed drama school training, which secured him various roles as a child actor, with his first major role, aged 13, as the Artful Dodger in the West End musical Oliver!. He then pursued a music career, joining Genesis in 1970 as their drummer and becoming lead singer in 1975 following the departure of Peter Gabriel. Collins began a successful solo career in the 1980s, initially inspired by his marital breakdown and love of soul music, releasing the albums Face Value (1981), Hello, I Must Be Going! (1982), No Jacket Required (1985) and ...But Seriously (1989). Collins became, in the words of AllMusic, "one of the most successful pop and adult contemporary singers of the '80s and beyond". He also became known for a distinctive gated reverb drum sound on many of his recordings. In 1985, he was the only artist to perform at both Live Aid concerts. He also resumed his acting career, appearing in Miami Vice and subsequently starring in the film Buster (1988). In 1996, Collins left Genesis to focus on solo work; this included writing songs for Disney's Tarzan (1999) for which he received an Oscar for Best Original Song for "You'll Be in My Heart". He rejoined Genesis for their Turn It On Again Tour in 2007. Following a five-year retirement to focus on his family life, Collins released an autobiography in 2016 and completed his Not Dead Yet Tour in 2019. He then rejoined Genesis in 2020 for a second reunion tour, ending in March 2022.
Collins's discography includes eight studio albums that have sold 33.5 million certified units in the US and an estimated 150 million records sold worldwide, making him one of the world's best-selling artists. He is one of only three recording artists, along with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, who have sold over 100 million records both as solo artists and separately as principal members of a band. He has won eight Grammy Awards, six Brit Awards (winning Best British Male Artist three times), two Golden Globe Awards, one Academy Award, and a Disney Legend Award. He was awarded six Ivor Novello Awards from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, including the International Achievement Award. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999, and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis in 2010. He has also been recognised by music publications with induction into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 2012, and the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame in 2013.

It's ln Your Eyes
Phil Collins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The love you hide away.
You can't disguise
The things you feel, the thing you say
If you just call my name
Any time at all, I'll be there.
The way you're falling away from me.
I can't describe
It's how it feels, it's what I see.
If you just call my name
Anytime at all,
Anytime at all,
Anytime at all, I'll be there.
I look around, all I see is you
But you gotta tell me that you want me too.
Look at me, you're all that I need, it's true.
I'm here, just call my name
Anytime at all, I'll be there.
I look around, all I see is you
But you gotta tell me that you want me too.
Look at me, you're all that I need, it's true.
I can't disguise
The love I wait for you to share
I can't deny
If you reach out and touch my hand it's there.
Or just call my name,
Anytime at all,
Anytime at all,
Anytime at all, I'll be there.
The song "It's In Your Eyes" by Phil Collins is a classic love ballad about a man pouring his heart out to a woman. The lyrics are full of emotion and convey the deep feelings the man has for this woman. The first verse talks about how the love she hides away can't be disguised, and how the things she feels and says show her true feelings. The man is waiting for her to open up to him and share her love, and he promises to always be there for her if she does.
In the chorus of the song, the man tells the woman that if she just calls his name, he'll be there for her anytime she needs him. He doesn't know why she's falling away from him, but he can feel it and see it happening. He wants her to know that she's all he sees and all he needs. The second verse talks more about the man's feelings and how he can't deny the love he has for her. He's waiting for her to reach out and touch his hand so they can share their love and be together.
