Robert John ☆ The Lion Sleeps Tonight

(Robert John Pedrick)
Looks like it’s over, you knew I couldn’t stay
She’s comin’ home today
We had a good thing, I’ll miss your sweet love
Why must you look at me that way
It’s over

Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don’t wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there’d come a day
When we would have to say ‘goodbye’

Try to remember the magic that we shared
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you, you knew I really cared
I hate to see it have to end
But it’s over

Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don’t wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there’d come a day
When we would have to say ‘goodbye’

[Instrumental Interlude]

Sad eyes, you knew there’d come a day
When we would have to say ‘goodbye’
Sad eyes, turn the other way (turn the other way)
I don’t wanna see you cry (cry, cry, cry)
Sad eyes, you knew there’d come a day (he-e-e-ey)
When we would have to say ‘goodbye’
Sad eyes
