Hi Dogmax,

Here are the lyrics of Blue Eyes In The Mirror (just in case you didn't see them on the finished songs section) :)   Marrianna

                             
  Blue Eyes In The Mirror

v1  She wore a blue gown on her sister's wedding day
     She was lovely as the flowers she held
     She was nervous as she waited for the car to arrive
     Again she's the bridesmaid, never the bride

v2  He opened the door of the black gleaming car
     With white ribbons as pure as the snow
     With a sad, lonely smile she stepped inside
     Then she saw those amazing blue eyes

                               Chorus
     Blue eyes in the mirror were looking at her
     And her heart just went crazy with love
     Blue eyes in the mirror, could today really be
     The beginning of a new love, .. we'll see

v3  They arrived at the church, she could hear the bells ring
     The bride and groom whispered 'I do'
      As she held the bride's bouquet, she was thinking of him
      And his blue eyes, amazing blue eyes

 v4  She stepped back in the car when the service was through
       Her heart raced as he drove her back home
       As the speeches dragged on, as the photos were taken
       She looked around and knew he had gone

                                 Chorus
       Blue eyes in the mirror were looking at her
       And her heart just went crazy with love
       Blue eyes in the mirror, could today really be
       The beginning of a new love, we'll see ...

v5     She ran out the door fighting back her sad tears
        In the darkness she stumbled and fell
        The car couldn't stop, and she never would know
        There was love in those amazing blue eyes

                              Chorus
        Blue eyes in the mirror were looking at her
        And his heart just went crazy with love
        Blue eyes in the mirror, could tonight really be
        The end of a new love, ..maybe .. maybe
        We'll see .. maybe .. we'll see ..

Hey Marrianna  - are you looking for suggestions on this lyric - or is too late in the process? (as you have a finished song)
Either way, haven't heard the song yet,  but the lyrics look really good!

Wow what a chorus. The song is great and feels sad to read. I reckon if a video was made for this song it'd be great.

Thanks for your appreciative comment.  :)

 I wanted to capture the underlying sadness which was to come after what started as a happy occasion. The video idea is something I hadn't thought of but pictures are coming into my mind now.  :)
I kept the vocals of the chorus more as a story being told, but if I worked on it again, I am thinking the chorus should be sung stronger. Not sure though. :-[

Hi Marianna, this is a lovely song and well sung. Those high note coming in about half way through give it a very interesting flavour, especially how they wander across those 'wrong' notes - which sounds  brilliant. Reminded me of Dolly Parton.

Hi GTB,

Thanks for your complimentary comment and it is interesting too. The 'wrong' notes were played in the studio after I was trying to describe the story as 'not a romantic song' but the beginning of love going
wrong so suddenly. I also kept a track without those notes just in case. It is really nice to have had the feedback on the song and so many thanks.
