Something is happenin'
Everything's different,
But everything is fine, yeah

And this is the good stuff,
And yesterday is only what you leave behind
It's only in your mind

[Chorus]
You gotta talk to the one who made you
Talk to the one who understands
Talk to the one who gave you
All the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes

No use pretendin'
You never existed
'Till you saw the light, yeah

You're just beginning
You haven't missed it, it's all ahead of you,
And you know what to do

[Chorus]

Here comes the world and,
She is beautifully mysterious
She's got it all and you say,
Give it to me

Nobody's happy
That's not the world I knew inside
Where everybody hides

[Chorus]

You gotta talk to the one who loves you
Talk to the one who understands
Talk to the one who gave you
All the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes

Yeah, thank you, thank you
Yeah, everything great and small
Yeah, thank you, thank you
For the light in your eyes

Yeah, thank you, thank you
Yeah, everything great and small
Yeah, thank you, thank you,
For the light in your eyes
For the light in your eyes

    General Comment:shes looking life from a positive side in this song... talking about going out into the real world 'its all ahead of you', 'its just the beginning', 'here comes the world' and how that experience is 'beautifully mysterious' and she says thankyou. maybe thankyou for being alive after all people who are alive have a 'light in their eyes' metaphorically...apposed to someone who isnt alive

    General Comment:what does she mean in the part when she says "Here comes the world and she is beautifully mysterious
    She's got it all and you say "Give it to me"

    General Comment:Ezra 9:8
    "But now, for a brief moment, the Lord our God has been gracious in leaving us a remnant and giving us a firm place in his sanctuary, and so our God gives light to our eyes and a little relief in our bondage."

    General Comment:This one of my favorite Sheryl songs. I've heard from many different sources that this was inspired by the passing of Beatle, George Harrison. From what I heard, his death affected Sheryl greatly and it inspired her to write "Light In Your Eyes".

    I am not sure how it connects to Harrison (I don't know much about his solo career or him) but the song seems to be very optimistic which is a great departure from Sheryl's usually dark lyrics.

    It sends the message that life is too short to waste so go out and enjoy the good stuff. I also get the feeling that she is speaking to a younger person who has not yet experienced much and she is encouraging her or him to explore and talk the one who gave you the light in your eyes. Great song!!
