Lyrics

E
I met her a month ago, the wedding of a friend.
A
She smiled and she spoke of how the arc of life can bend.
E B7 E
what do I know, what do I know,

Later at the party, when the band began to play,
A
She said she'd like to dance, and then she said she couldn't stay
E B7 E
what do I know, what do I know,

E A
My eyes are shining, I watch the words upon her lips.
E
My eyes are shining, I love the way she moves her hips.
A
My eyes are shining, Oh, I watch her walk away.
E B7 E
My eyes are shining, must I wait another day.

E
I saw her again today while at the grocery.
A
Why does she play with her hair when she stops to talk to me?
E B7 E
what do I know, what do I know,

She laughed as she told about our friends long honeymoon.
A
Then she touched me on the shoulder, must this moment end so soon?
E B7 E
what do I know, what do I know,

BRIDGE: E A E A E B7 E

E A
My eyes are shining, I watch the words upon her lips.
E
My eyes are shining, I love the way she moves her hips.
A
My eyes are shining, Oh, I watch her walk away.
E B7 E
My eyes are shining, must I wait another day.

E
I met her a month ago, the wedding of a friend.
A
She smiled and she spoke of how the arc of life can bend.
E B7 E
what do I know, what do I know,
