Balkan Eyes (The Beauty of Now) Lyrics

Sometimes you've gotta stumble through the rain

The other side always looks better in the light of day

You dropped into my life from outer space

And I still remember the morning you decided to stay

Sometimes you've gotta look the other way

But to find love you've got to learn how to steal/steel your gaze

In an instant my life changed

When I saw those Balkan eyes

And I'm never gonna say it was easy

But we made it through and how

When nothing else matters

It's the beauty of now

We were tried, convicted and judged

But no crime was committed in the name of love

But I knew trouble sure had come

When I saw those Balkan eyes

And I'm never gonna say it was easy

But we made it through and how

When nothing else matters, the past is long lost and shattered

It's the beauty of now

It's the beauty of now

Those eyes have looked upon me

With tender resignation and mercy

They've seen the best and the worst in me

They never failed to speak honestly

It was me that couldn't see

Sometimes you've gotta stumble through the rain

The other side always looks better in the light of day

But I knew that love had come to stay

When I saw those Balkan eyes

And I'm never gonna say it was easy

But we made it through and how

When nothing else matters, only you and I matter

It's the beauty of now

It's the beauty of now
