Staring Directly Into the Sun

Verse 1

Everybody told me, "When you're looking at the light,

Better not stare too long or else you're gonna go blind."

They said, "Why would you walk out into the burning sun?

Don't you know that it'll burn your eyes?"

Chorus

But they don't know what it's like when she walks by,

Oh, I just can't help myself, I've gotta look into her eyes.

There's a feeling that I get, and I just can't explain,

A thousand angels singin' and they're callin' out her name.

Don't blame me 'cause I'm crazy, don't tell me I'm a fool,

It's just so damn hard to resist the view.

Like a flower to the summer day, I can't look away,

When I'm staring directly into the sun.

Verse 2

Well, they say love's a gamble and you're bound to lose,

Ain't no sense in betting if you're sure you're gonna lose.

Well, they oughta see her smile and hear the way she laughs.

There's no way I'd put a price on that.

Chorus

But they don't know what it's like when she walks by,

Oh, I just can't help myself, I've gotta look into her eyes.

There's a feeling that I get, and I just can't explain,

A thousand angels singin' and they're callin' out her name.

Don't blame me 'cause I'm crazy, don't tell me I'm a fool,

It's just so damn hard to resist the view.

Like a flower to the summer day, I can't look away,

When I'm staring directly into the sun.

Bridge

They can keep their warnings, they can hide their eyes,

But I'm gonna take my chances 'cause there ain't no compromise.

Chorus

'Cause they don't know what it's like when she walks by,

Oh, I just can't help myself, I've gotta look into her eyes.

There's a feeling that I get, and I just can't explain,

A thousand angels singin' and they're callin' out her name.

Don't blame me 'cause I'm crazy, don't tell me I'm a fool,

It's just so damn hard to resist the view.

Like a flower to the summer day, I can't look away,

When I'm staring directly into the sun.

Outro

Yeah, I'm staring directly into the sun.

Oh, I'm staring directly into the sun.

It's so damn hard to resist the view,

I can't look away, I'm staring directly into the sun.
