I was fortunate enough to know Tommy Bolin as a teenager in Boulder.  Many years after his death, after finishing a screenplay called “Love Your Eyes”, I was working on a piece of music suitable for the opening credits.  For some reason, bits and pieces of Tommy’s style came to mind, and this is the result,  from Kiss the Breath of Sunset 

Love Your Eyes

Her smile, will bring a man to his knees,
Her style can get her anything she’ll please
One look makes you want to take a chance
There’s a book being written with every glance
She’s so cool, she’s so cruel
Want to escape the stories and lies,
I can’t get away ’cause I love your eyes.

That walk, can make any light look dim
When she talks to another man, you gotta envy him
But watch out, there’s no truth in any thing she says
You’ll find out, she’s a woman of a thousand ways
She’s so cool, she’s so cruel
Want to escape the stories and lies,
I can’t get away ’cause I love your eyes.

She’ll turn her back then she’ll walk on by
She’ll burn you, every night, a new alibi
She’s a teaser, she loves nobody but herself
She’s a pleaser, she’ll bend you ’til you don’t know yourself
She’s so cool, she’s so cruel
Want to escape the stories and lies,
I can’t get away ’cause I love your eyes.
