About the Song
“We wrote it last summer (1982) on the way from New York City to Quogue, on Long Island. I mean we wrote it in a car, in the limousine. We heard the instrumental part out of the speakers, and we hooked up our KD-5, which is the savior of our singing lives. So we sang and recorded and by the time we got there the song was written. Constructive travelling, I call it.”
You thought you saw something in my eyes…
- Shares lyrics with 1994’s “Destiny”
- Reached No. 14 on Billboard Mainstream Rock charts
- Became a concert set list regular
Stevie can be heard singing the line “I hope you make it!” in a 1982 demo of Fleetwood Mac’s “Eyes of the World.”
Lyrics
(1-2-3-4)
Cryin’ in the morning trying to be strong
Waitin’ for the spring to turn into the fall
Love don’t mean what it says at all
And destiny says that I’m destined to fall
Enchanted
You thought you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted
It’s a shame that you wanted me
You didn’t try
Why the sad face
Oh, darling
Was it my darkness
Shadow light
I mean to cause no trouble for you
That is the story of my life
Enchanted
You thought you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted
It’s a shame that you wanted me
You didn’t try
Enchanted
Wo, it’s just a voice through the night
Enchanted
Well, I hope you make it
You were gone
You were gone from me
When I remember someone
I remember their dreams
In those dreams that no one knows of
My destiny says that I’m destined to run
(Enchanted)
Ooh, you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted
It’s a shame that you wanted me
You didn’t try
Enchanted
Well, it’s just a voice through the night
Enchanted
Well, I hope you make it
Ooh, enchanted
Well, I hope you make it
Wo…
Wo-wo-ho
I hope you make it
Wo…
Wo-wo-wo
I hope you make it
Yay…
Yay-yay-yay
I hope you make it
Yay..
Yay-yay-yay
I hope you make it
