about

Billy Carl: I wrote this one from the viewpoint of being Ruby and being married to me or something like that. We were probably having disagreements about music and life. Of course my own views are there too since I am what I am. The title also works well with the artwork on the cover.the eyes. That was just a happy coincidence. This one sounds a little bit secret agent-y with Ruby's addition of vibes.

lyrics

Through Your Eyes
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

Was a time when I would follow you ‘round
Never question what you’d wanna do
Listen to the music that was your sound
Read the things that you would want me to

Now I don’t see the world through your eyes
Just a word to the wise
So you don’t get the wrong impression
And I don’t see the world through your eyes
Now I know not to rely
You can call it intuition

Now that I can offer some resistance
Standing on my own makes me complete
Long ago I needed some assistance
But now I walk the road on my own feet

And I don’t see the world through your eyes
Just a word to the wise
So you don’t get the wrong impression
And I don’t see the world through your eyes
Now I know not to rely
You can call it intuition

I’m walking the path of the free
I’m looking to see what I’ll see
I’m waiting to know what I’ll be
And no one is following me

Now I don’t see the world through your eyes
Just a word to the wise
So you don’t get the wrong impression
And I don’t see the world through your eyes
Now I know not to rely
You can call it intuition….Though your eyes
