Eyes on me

This song is the ending theme for the game called Final Fantasy VIII. I adore the song and what it means, and I adore the video it belongs to. This ending video is a part of me. I used to watch it several times every day when I was a kid. And I mean EVERY day, for a very long time. I breathed this song. In the end I didn't have to watch the video to watch it. If that makes sense. I could act it all out in my head, all of the movements and all of the colours and everything. All of this is true of most of the things I listened to at that time, but this song and the ending video simply... belonged to me.

PS: The ending credits of the game aren't part of the song, but I knew them by heart too and loved them just as much, 'cause they're pretty awesome. I suppose a lot ot the video doesn't make sense to people who haven't played the game. But try to ignore that and just watch. Try to get drawn in. And most of all, listen.

my last night here for you
same old songs, just once more?
my last night here with you
maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
how you shyly placed your eyes on me
oh, did you ever know
that I had mine on you?

darling, so there you are
with that look on your face
as if you're never hurt
as if you're never down
shall I be the one for you
who pinches you softly, but sure?
if frown is shown, then
I will know that you are no dreamer

so let me come to you
close, as I wanna be
close enough for me
to feel a heart beating fast
and stay there as I whisper
"how I love your peaceful eyes on me,"
did you ever know
that I had mine on you?

darling, so share with me
your love, if you have enough
your tears, if you're holding back
or pain, if that's what it is
how can I let you know?
I'm more than the dress and the voice
just reach me out, then
you will know that you are not dreaming

darling, so there you are
with that look on your face
as if you're never hurt
as if you're never down
shall I be the one for you
who pinches you softly, but sure?
if frown is shown, then
I will know that you are no dreamer
