I see the sparkling little diamond on your hand
It’s plain to see that you’ve already got a man
I can tell you’re not about to fall for any of my lies
I see the want to in your eyes
Deep in your smile there’s a quiet, soft desire
Like the embers of a once raging fire
You know I could light that fire again, you know it isn’t wise
I see the want to in your eyes
How strong’s a band of gold
Is it strong enough to hold
When a love has grown cold
And A woman wants a love, sweet and warm
How many women just like you have silent schemes?
How many men like me do they sleep with in their dreams?
You can stay or you can go and although I sympathize
I still see the want to in your eyes
I see the want to in your eyes

I could not wait to turn 21 he would come to a bar I lived close to I tried when I was 19 didn't make thru the door but my time came what a show best I've ever seen.
Too bad you can't turn on the Country radio station and hear golden oldies like this. Instead of some idiot singing about his pickup and girl with a rap beat and a goofy banjo overdub to try and fool us into not wondering what they did with real Country Music.
Man, does this man's music hold up over the years! Way back when, I didn't always think he was singing the tunes 'right'. Years later, I feel the passion in this terrific singer. (For the first time, I also think I hear a little bit of Jerry Lee Lewis in his voice, though he's definitely his own man.) This voice, truly missed.
