Buttercup Eyes

California Chris
Songs of the Desert - Track 18 of 18
The sunset waves like an old-time friend,
Same soft magic at the day’s slow end.
Buttercup eyes, like the sunset sky,
Life feels lighter as the hours pass by.
Crosswalks flashing in a city glow,
Even traffic’s got a rhythm when you’re heading home.
Kids are laughing, Lego on the floor,
Neighbors talking through the walls next door.
Buttercup eyes, like the sunset sky,
Life feels lighter as the hours pass by.
Fire in the clouds, a soft red glow,
Painting the glass with a magic show.
Long day’s over, shoes untied,
Walking home with you right by my side.
Every laugh feels like a brand-new song,
This is where my tired heart belongs.
Buttercup eyes, like the sunset sky,
Life feels lighter as the hours pass by.
Even through the chaos, I realize,
Peace lives here — in those buttercup eyes.
Buttercup eyes, like the sunset sky,
Life feels lighter as the hours pass by.
Buttercup eyes, like the sunset sky,
Life feels lighter as the hours pass by.
