old song> Your Eyes by Cook Da Books

I'm an 80's baby, and back when I was little we'd listen to the radio all day. And I'd hear great old songs all the time... a lot of Air Supply, Menudo, etc. And then I heard this song and I really loved it, but I never found out the title nor the artist, til maybe about a decade later. Then towards the end of grade school, i read an excerpt of the novel Little Women, the scene where Laurie and Jo met for the first time at a party, and while reading it, this song kept replaying in my mind. Fast forward to college, i had the habit of tuning in to Love Radio to lull me to sleep. and then this song played. and right then and there I called up the DJ at the station to ask about it. This is how it went down ( i was speaking in local dialect):

Me: uh hello.. i wanted to ask about that song you played maybe about 15mins ago..
DJ: which one?
Me: am actually calling to ask for the title and the artist so I can't tell you.. but i do know there's "eyes" on the lyrics..
DJ: can you sing a part it?
Me:( and this is where it got funny. i can't sing for the life of me and I'm also embarassed to sing over the phone so I just said)..  can I just hum it.. and i proceeded to hum > mmmm..hmmmm.. lalalalal.... lmao!!

Good thing the DJ got it and was able to name the artist. *sigh* i was so happy I finally knew it so i could liste to it whenever i want to. It was hard before cos all the people I ask never seem to have heard about it and i had to hum every time hahah. good thing, mystery got solved..
