what did they sing

[ianlavo]

On American idol all the boys sang a song from the 70s what was it called, I think it was "in your eyes"

[pink-kittens]

OK, I didn't watch American Idol but the lyrics you quote here sound like this song here:

I think I finally know you
I can see beyond your smile
I think that I can show you
That what we have is still worthwhile
Don't you know that love's just like the thread
That keeps unravelling but then
It ties us back together in the end.

(Chorus)
In your eyes, I can see my dream's reflections
In your eyes, found the answers to my questions
In your eyes, I can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more.

You warned me that life changes
That no one really knows
Whether time would make us strangers
Or whether time would make us grow
Even though the winds of time will change
In a world where nothing stays the same
Through it all our love will still remain.

(Repeat Chorus)
In your eyes, I can see the reasons why our love's alive
You and I, we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more

George Benson did the version I know
