about

Bogart's Eyes is about wanting to know what real love is like; where the little things mean a lot and it all falls into place so easily. The lyrics are as if I am having a conversation with Lauren Bacall (Bogie's wife), who he adored with all his heart up till the day he died. I wrote it one night, after watching Dark Passage; a film which they were both in together, and I use quotes from. I felt lonely that night and the only way I felt better was to imagine asking her what it was like to be loved that way.

lyrics

May I sit and talk with you?
I hope you don’t mind
But what’s it like
To be the love in Bogart’s eyes?
The love in Bogart’s eyes

Sometimes I get lonely
Up here by myself
I guess I was born lonely
Always left here on the shelf
But there’s something in the way
He looks at you
There’s nothing brighter
Than the love in Bogart’s eyes
The love in Bogart’s eyes

No one’s ever looked at me
The way he looks at you
There’s nothing more content
Than the way he sighs
His tender touch
As he’s holding your hand
There’s nothing softer
Than the love in Bogart’s eyes
The love in Bogart’s eyes

Some days it doesn’t cross my mind
But most days it does
It really bothers me
That I’ve never been in love
His gentle kiss
As he lifts your chin
There’s nothing sweeter
Than the love in Bogart’s eyes
The love in Bogart’s eyes

I wish I could find
A love as pure as yours
Should I hold my breath
And cross my fingers?
Till I find the right boy
With Bogart’s eyes

Bogart’s eyes
