Want to Rise in Your Eyes - single released April 2012
Copyright © 2012 Kelli Caldwell & JC Tubbs
Spending nights with you
In your old baby blue
Beat-up pick-up truck
In the rain—
Though the moon may set
Don't take me home yet
I want to meet the morning sky
In your eyes—
Chorus:
Want to rise—
In your eyes—
Want to rise—
In your eyes—
Said you don't care how
But you want to see me now
You can pick me up
On the fly—
Got my tattered bags packed
I don't plan on looking back
Want to reach the endless sky
By your side—
Chorus:
Want to rise—
In your eyes—
Want to rise—
In your eyes—
When the first rays of sun chase away the night
I want to rise———in your eyes
Bridge:
You and I have found a way to fly
Higher than our simple lives
Never thought I could escape my fights
But when I’m with you everything’s alright
Chorus:
Want to rise—
In your eyes—
Want to rise—
In your eyes—
Chorus:
Want to rise—
In your eyes—
Want to rise—
In your eyes—
When the first rays of sun chase away the night
I want to rise———in your eyes
Chorus:
Want to rise—
In your eyes—
Want to rise—
In your eyes—
When the first rays of sun chase away the night
I want to rise———in your eyes
