about

I wrote the music to this on my ukulele in the car on a trip up north. I came up with some temporary lyrics which were I think.. -look at the moon isn't it beautiful- . John recorded it right there in the car on his MP3 player (yes while driving..bad boy!). He then hooked it up to a little device which transmits the mp3 to a radio frequency. This means I wrote, recorded and had a song played on the radio within about a half hour. That's gotta be some kind of record!

lyrics

I just grew up about a day ago

I want you to notice

I want you to know

That I understand the look in your eyes

Yesterdays slumber parties

Are today's dancing close

Mysteries long hidden begin to unfold

And I understand the look in your eyes

Teach me, plant your seed

So that I might bloom

Teach me what it is I see

In your eyes so blue

Oh you've got what I need

No I won't say it

I'll let you pass by

But I know the thoughts

That roll by in your mind

And I understand the look in your eyes
