EYES ON ME
"I'm not asking you to say anything, I just want you to listen."

Okay, so this really has nothing to do with Quistis, but I just thought I'd add up the lyrics to Eyes on Me up here since it's such an important part in Final Fantasy VIII. The lyrics were supposed to have been written by Julia Heartilly, Rinoa's mother as a tribute to Laguna Loire, her first love. While it's really Julia and Laguna's theme, it's also Squall and Rinoa's theme later on in the game. The singer for this song is Chinese pop-star, Faye Wong.

Eyes On Me

Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they, would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy?
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny, little bar.

My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here for you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh did you ever know
That I had mine on you?

*Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly, but sure?
If frown is shown then
I will know you are no dreamer.

So let me come to you
Close as I wanna be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart, beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Oh did you ever know
That I had mine on you?

Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
The tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice?
Just reach me out and then
You will know that you are not dreaming.
