Sixteen years have come and gone,
Still your memory lingers on,
Like a photograph that time denies,
Of the girl with April in her eyes.
One small message, one spring day,
A simple joke that slipped away,
I never saw what fate disguised,
In the girl with April in her eyes.
The girl with April in her eyes,
Like morning sunlight in the skies,
Some hearts leave but never die,
They only learn to say goodbye.
If you hear this song tonight,
Know I finally see the light,
Though the years have changed my life,
I still remember April in your eyes.
I’ve crossed deserts, I’ve crossed rain,
Built up dreams and lost again,
Yet through every low and rise,
I saw April in your eyes.
Funny how the years can fly,
Leaving questions standing by,
Somewhere underneath the miles,
Lives the girl with April in her eyes.
The girl with April in her eyes,
Like morning sunlight in the skies,
Some hearts leave but never die,
They only learn to say goodbye.
If you hear this song tonight,
Know I finally see the light,
Though the years have changed my life,
I still remember April in your eyes.
I don’t ask to turn back time,
Or rewrite what wasn’t mine,
Some roads fade beneath the stars,
Some remain exactly as they are.
But if fate still keeps a door,
Half unlocked like once before,
I’d trade every borrowed line,
For one more moment of your time.
So I’ll leave these words with fate,
Sixteen years may be too late,
Still the truth survives the miles,
Long after youth and all its trials.
And if this song should find its way,
To your heart some future day,
Maybe then you’ll recognize,
The boy who lost those April eyes.
The girl with April in her eyes,
Still the brightest springtime skies,
Some hearts leave but never die,
They only learn to say goodbye.
If you save this song somewhere,
Keep it gently, keep it there,
For a part of me still tries,
To reach the girl with April in her eyes.
The girl with April in her eyes,
The sweetest truth of my disguise,
And after all these passing years,
She still survives beyond the tears.
