Peter Gabriel released this song in 1986. It became instantly, for me, the very ideation of that special someone I was looking and waiting for. I carried it with me for many years, always a favorite....and always looking...for those eyes.
In early summer of 2002 I found those eyes... and in fall of 2004 I married those eyes. Sadly, in 2009, through a cruel twist of fate, those eyes left this world.
Wednesday June 10th, will be her birthday.
Today, I came across this version of the song and it brought me both to tears and also brought your eyes back to the front of my mind. It is your eyes I see when I close my eyes. Your eyes that I miss so much. Those brilliant greenish blue eyes.
I have made many mistakes in my life. I have been and still am a selfish and flawed man, but I do try, every day. Those eyes changed me. Because of a promise I made to those eyes, I am now 11 years sober.
I will not break the promise I made to those eyes.
So now....two days before your birthday...here is the song that kept me alive all those years knowing and believing that you were out there. I still know and believe...you are out there.
In your eyes.... I saw the light and the heat.
Yes....I was that complete
Happy Birthday Cynthia Ann Quick Reynolds Smith.
I miss you every single day
and I miss
...Your Eyes

Absoletuly touched by this version with Youssou. I've followed Peter since Genesis, well before his participation in the Human Rights Concert at the River Plate Stadium in 1988, with Sting, The Boss, Tracy Chapman, etc., which I attended, up to date (I am 62 and I'm sorry for my bad command of the English language, being an Argentinian; please do forgive me). Peter's voice is like the greatest wines: it gets better and better as time goes by. A truly genius. Period. Thank you UK for bringing to the World a pletora of artists that helped us cope with the worst periods of my generation.
