Just One Look Lyrics

Christopher Cross

Words and music by Christopher Cross

On the outback, a fool for the wind
Forgot to count my blessings again
The road looks lonely, I could use a friend
Looking for somebody to forgive my sins

And just one look in your eyes
Before I go so I'll know
Somebody loves me

All the wise men, all the years
Looking for the answer in a roomful of mirrors
A dark companion, the one called fear
Take the holy water wash away the tears

One hope I will find
The harmony of heart and mind
So I will know
The way to give as I live

And I know there will be
A certain amount of uncertainty
But I must know
That you are there to hear my prayers

One wish there will be
In this place a time for me
When I will know
Before I go
Somebody loves me
Just one look in your eyes
Before I go so I'll know
Somebody loves me

All the wise men, all the years
Looking for the answer in a roomful of mirrors
A dark companion, the one called fear
Take the holy water wash away the tears

One hope I will find
The harmony of heart and mind
So I will know
