One too many heartaches
reveal the human stain
as you sip the taste of sunshine
to chase away the rain

You still want forever
Still believe it to be true
While promises and tenderness
Lay compromised in you

(Chorus)
When they turn the lights up
Illuminate the lies
Will you see my heart willing?
Behind those champagne eyes

You know the cost of freedom
and turn a happy way
All those temporary smiles
keep the loneliness at bay

Nothing lasts forever
It's rumored to be true
Just a little tenderness
May be just the thing for you

(Chorus)
When they turn the lights up
Illuminate the lies
Will you see my heart willing?
Behind those champagne eyes

One too many heartaches
reveal the human stain
as you sip the taste of sunshine
to chase away the rain

You still want forever
but it often slips your mind
as the sweet, sweet taste of sunshine
leaves it all behind

(Chorus)
When they turn the lights up
Illuminate the lies
Will you see my heart willing?
Behind those champagne eyes
