about

Phil used to make his living singing and playing down in San Diego during the end of the folk heyday in the 70's. He then went to the rock and roll scene and unfortunately blew out his voice. Fortunately he had an unfinished recording of this song done 30 years ago. Thru the miracle of digital, we were able to dump it to the computer, add bass, piano and drums and make it a finished product. What a trip.

lyrics

 LEAVING IN YOUR EYES
by Phil Gross & Bill Hermann         

 
YOU FEEL HER TOUCH SHE NEVER SHOWS
THE PERFECT ACTOR  STILL YOU KNOW
TO TRY AND HOLD HER IS TO TRY AND HOLD THE WIND
SO YOU HIDE THE WAY YOU FEEL WHEN SHE'S NEAR        
AND YOU TELL HER THAT YOU LOVE HER WHEN SHE CAN'T HEAR

AND BABY IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU HOW HAVE YOU BEEN
AND YOU'RE LOST INSIDE HER MAGIC ONCE AGAIN
SHE OFFERS YOU HER LOVE WITH NO DISGUISE
FOR THAT LITTLE BIT OF LEAVING IN HER EYES

YOU WATCH THE NIGHT PLAY OFF HER HAIR
DISCARDED NIGHT GOWN ON THE CHAIR     
HER QUIET BREATHING IS THE ONLY SOUND YOU HEAR 
SO YOU THINK ABOUT THE SECRET THAT YOU KEEP
AND YOU TELL HER THAT YOU LOVE HER BUT WHILE HE SLEEPS

AND BABY IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU HOW HAVE YOU BEEN
AND YOU'RE LOST INSIDE HER MAGIC ONCE AGAIN
SHE OFFERS YOU HER LOVE WITH NO DISGUISE
FOR THAT LITTLE BIT OF LEAVING IN HER EYES
