Lyrics The Hollies

The Hollies

Open Up Your Eyes

Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people

Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smilin'

Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people

Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smilin', smilin'

Wake in the mornin', look out of my window

Down on the street as the people pass by

Wonderful faces, awake but asleep

Rushing around with appointments to keep

Rushing around with appointments to keep

Bald-headded banker, with bowler on head

Credit for debit still in the red

School girl in pigtails and freckly nose

Tryin' to remember her latin prose

Tryin' to remember her latin prose

Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people

Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smilin'

Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people

Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smilin', smilin'

Open up your eyes, open up your eyes

Open up your eyes, open up your eyes

Isn't it surprisin' what you'll find?

Open up your eyes, open up your eyes

What are they thinkin'? What's on their minds?

Are they all lookin' for somethin' to find?

Decreasin' circles, running around

Searchin' for somethin' they've already found

Searchin' for somethin' they've already found

Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people

Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smilin'

Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people

Wouldn't it be nice if they were always smilin'

Open up your eyes, lookin' at the people
