Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
You have the cool clear eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth,
Yet there’s that upturned chin and the grin of impetuous youth.
Oh I believe in you. I believe in you.
I hear the sound of good solid judgment whenever you talk.
Yet, there’s the bold brave spring of the tiger that quickens your walk.
Oh I believe in you. I believe in you.
And when my faith in my fellow man all but falls apart,
I’ve but to feel your hand grasping mine,
And I take heart, I take heart.
To see the cool, clear eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth.
Yet there’s that slam bang tang reminiscent of gin and vermouth.
Oh I believe in you. I believe in you.
