Bush, Kate - The Man With The Child In His Eyes Lyrics






("He's here! He's here!
He's here! He's here!")

I hear him, before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been.
I realise he's there,
When I turn the light off and turn over.

Nobody knows about my man.
They think he's lost on some horizon.
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before,

Telling me about the sea,
All his love, 'til eternity.

Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.
Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.

He's very understanding,
And he's so aware of all my situations.
And when I stay up late,
He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate.

Oh, I'm so worried about my love.
They say, "No, no, it won't last forever."
And here I am again, my girl,
Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here.
Maybe he doesn't love me.
I just took a trip on my love for him.

Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.
Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.

    My homage to Kate Bush - a male version of this beautiful song: https://youtu.be/QfG_MuhZuUw

  3. S.... S....

    Astonishing artist 💎

  4. S.... ....

    "The child is father of the man."
    William Wordsworth.

  5. R.... M....

    STILL WONDERFUL

  6. S.... ....

    “Flowers are the music of the ground.

  7. B.... ....

    Wonderful

  8. S.... ....

    “Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.”

  9. 1.... ....

    i simply cannot imagine myself looking into her eyes and trying to stay coherent.

  10. c.... c....

    He's here

  11. E.... R....

    Does anyone know whether this is the song, "The Man with the Hill in His Eyes", or Keep Running Up that Man"?

    E.... R....

    shows what you know. the correct title is "Running up that Man (a deal with man)"

  12. g.... s....

    The best artist ...she just makes my day

  13. D.... K....

    wish she had cut out the dancing & concentrated on her song writing. she would have enjoyed performing more.

  14. A.... L....

    This song breaks my heart every time I hear it.

  15. m.... c....

    She is fantastic. Beautiful, talent and inteligence. Simply wonderful. My favourite artist. I love kate bush forever...

  16. P.... J....

    There's a lot of speculation on the meaning of this song.
    But I think she is talking about praying. But cryptically.

  17. g.... h....

    kate bush is absolutly awesome no comment needed

  18. S.... ....

    *The man with the child in his eyes*
    Kiddy fiddler at the playground.

  19. B.... n....

    Awesomeness if thats even a word 🤷‍♂️

  20. R.... H....

    Miss your soulful tunes . But they are always inside . Memories and dreams .

  21. D.... M....

    At that age i wrote a poen to a girl i had a crush on.

    It had such deep lines as: "Without you i'm like a sea without water, a clock without hands, a dog without fur ....

    I wrote this in French and thought it was so moronic that i threw it, sadly the French teacher found it and read it in my crush's class, she was pretty embarrassed.

    But we did become close friends after this, so there's that.

  22. B.... T....

    I heard..... She had 13 years , when she wrote this song , i don`t know this is true ???? but If this true ....incredible , talent. The art is .... her property. Incredible woman !

  23. B.... T....

    Great artist !!

  24. B.... J....

    People I've shown her to have told me her voice isn't good, but I think that's just because they didn't get what she was trying to express with it. Her voice sounds gorgeous here and very clean and simple, I should direct them to this next time

  25. r.... ....

    An amazing talent. I fell in love with Kate and her music back when I was a teenager in the 70's. Back then she adorned my wall, amongst The Clash and Zeppelin posters. Nowt's changed still think she stands as one of British music's most inventive and original female talents by quite some way.
    Shame she hasn't toured more because I'd have loved to have seen her perform live. An artist who is true to her self though and has lived the life she's wanted and not one expected of her.

  26. G.... I....

    Dream on

  27. D.... F....

    She is so beautiful and spiritual...not like todays lady Gaga and Adele...

  28. V.... B....

    Truly one of the most talented singers of all time....and such a beautiful song.

  29. R.... G....

    Perfection! Reminds me of my first job back in 1978, a beautiful, haunting and unforgettable song. Kate Bush oozed talent, unfortunately today’s so called “artists” are trailing in considerably ! Still gives me goose bumps ❤️

  30. B.... T....

    It hasn`t got a happy ending because it is very beauty.I can't go .... passing by this indifferent, I can't

  31. d.... ....

    I forgot how beautiful she was

  32. P.... H....

    The wonderful mysterious year of 1978

  33. T.... B....

    Thankyou Kate Bush.xxx

  34. U.... ....

    Just the very first line of this song makes me feel .......emotional

  35. C.... ....

    Quel immense talent que celui de Kate Bush...

  36. K.... H....

    3 mins of real beauty and perfection

  37. �.... �....

    Одна из роскошных композиций великого мастера

  38. M.... ....

    OUIJA BOARDS ROCK!!! ...Get into da VIBE!!!

  39. J.... K....

    The second time the world was confronted with the art and genius of Kate Bush. After being astonished and baffled by the melody, the lyrics, the piercing voice, the urge, her theatrical approach in Wuthering Heights, this was the follow up single. The variety in her music displayed, promised much, but so much more we got! She has been a strong force accompanying me during my life until this day. Thank you Kate ❤

    Produced by Andrew Powell and her discoverer Pink Floyd's David Gilmour

  40. A.... ....

    With her big brown Bambi eyes, loved her voice/ singing and the way she dances/ moves. 🤗🇳🇱

  41. c.... i....

    that's amazing for a 13 year old to write

  42. G.... N....

    Thanks for the upload .... haven’t heard this beautiful song for 45 years.

  43. P.... C....

    One of my faves of hers

  44. L.... L....

    So this where Britney Spears copied the flesh suit from.

  45. G.... 6....

    Oh God Kate is unbearably beautiful.

  46. I.... A....

    What a beautiful sensual petite creative lady.Kate I used to dream of making passionate love to you take care darling X.

  47. T.... U....

    My God...She's bizarrely gorgeous...
    The Kick Inside just has to be one of the FINEST debut albums ever ever recorded.

  48. G.... W....

    😪😪😪

  49. J.... M....

    Hennie loves it

  50. E.... S....

    Most beautiful song, Kate needs to record a 7min extended play version.

  51. M.... M....

    No one can compare ......

  52. C.... i....

    She wrote this at 13 years old.

  53. K.... O....

    Genius Kate!

  54. P.... B....

    The beauty that I would not only have loved to wrap up in my arms but also in my soul too...

  55. C.... T....

    One of the most beautiful songs ever... 😢

  56. J.... ....

    What a lovely and thoughtful song about Prince Andrew.

  57. M.... M....

    a Sarah Brightman song starts almost the same way, at least a couple of notes in the verses

  58. M.... I....

    This is the first song I heard kate bush use not a high pitch voice but a slow but beautiful melody range that sounds like her real voice

  59. B.... ....

    I misheard this in McDonald’s the other day and actually thought she was singing “He’s here again, the man with a chocolate in his eye.” Also I think this sounds like a bond theme.

    B.... ....

    BACH get back to eating your crayons 👍🏻

  60. K.... B....

    She comes very close to it, With a very small convergence criterion.

  61. s.... b....

    im a 70,s child with the kate in his eyes...gorgeous then gorgeous now..i have spoken.

  62. c.... ....

    Let's take a moment here to acknowledge just how beautiful Kate is in this video. OMG. Be still my beating heart!

  63. d.... t....

    Superb ,haunting, song ,I've always loved it .doesn't get any better than this ! What a talent GREAT 😊

  64. J.... B....

    I'm French, so I don't know if my understanding is very good, but I have the feeling that he is a dreamed man, an imaginary man. He is as she imagines him, as she dreams him, he understands everything, and appears at night when she sleeps, in her dreams, and "child in his eyes" means that he is pur and innocent

    J.... B....

    I think your understanding of the song is (in my opinion) absolutely perfect, and your English is incredible. You may even understand the song better than I do!

    J.... B....

    @SmallerLives THANKS! You are so adorable to say that. I was really not sure of my understanding, but that was my feeling the very first time I heard this song! Before I could understand all the words!! Happy new year to you my friend!

  65. W.... G....

    The highest praise I can give her is that I regarded her as the female equivalent of Bowie. Her incorporation of dance and mime into her act, wonderful songs and videos and sheer originality made her the best British artiste of her time. Her superlative talent only highlighted by the sheer dross around today.

  66. R.... V....

    2019 and this song keeps me fascinated after all these years , lovely !!

  67. O.... P....

    Brian Jackson

  68. H.... R....

    This reminds me of my beautiful dad love you I know your in heaven now at peace xxx

  69. D.... ....

    Stunning.

  70. M.... J....

    Blah,blah the most beautiful,no mystical yes, an artist yes sure I'd bang her but she wasn't all that....just sayin.g

    M.... J....

    I'll let her know... I know Kate speaks very highly of you Mike.

  71. M.... J....

    I say old girl rather self indulgent wouldn't you say?

    M.... J....

    Not so much 'old girl' - KB was 13 when she wrote this!

  72. R.... L....

    Best 💞

  73. S.... P....

    simple,beautiful and stunning song performed flawlessly

  74. T.... ....

    Quite possibly the most amazing vocal performance ever recorded

  75. D.... ....

    Beautiful song. Her best....she looks like Michelle Keegan.

  76. t.... g....

    To me this reminds me of my childhood. Probably aged 10 when this was released. Happy memories.

  77. p.... ....

    Qué maravilla. Gracias, Kate, por todo lo que nos has dado!

  78. M.... 1....

    Li que David Gilmour patrocinou Kate...exatamente com essa musica

  79. P.... T....

    I love this the lyrics a magical song

  80. 1.... ....

    1983, I had just returned home from my Military tour in Neu Ulm, Germany, I was watching Saturday Night Live and she was the featured vocalist, she was sitting on top of a grand piano wearing a tye dyed leotard with beautifully crimped auburn hair while singing this song, I could only sit there slack jawed, I felt as if she was singing about me....so long ago when I used to believe in love.

  81. L.... L....

    Beautiful! ♡

  82. E.... v....

    Yes she is!

  83. I.... k....

    Elton John invited Kate to one of his star studded parties not expecting her to accept the invitation.When she did turn up all the famous guests were lining up to meet her.

    I.... k....

    wow, and indeed so. shes like seeing a unicorn!

  84. A.... W....

    Beautiful 😔 xx. One of her best 💘

  85. S.... B....

    Kate Bush - an undeniable QUEEN at making pretentious, "intellectual" music that absolutely leaves you cold.

    S.... B....

    think it says a lot about you rather than her!

  86. j.... s....

    Thank you Kate for having shared your artistic talents with the world.

  87. a.... ....

    Here Italy ....quanto era sensuale,magica e piena di talento Kate ...il sogno erotico e artistico della mia adolescenza😘

  88. M.... G....

    Elton and Freddie, wouldn't you like to have written this gem?

  89. M.... C....

    just thought of this today 11/11 ...what a beautiful song <3

  90. G.... l....

    Kate is without doubt was the most sexy, talented woman to exist during my teens.
    Outstanding human being.

  91. S.... S....

    Kate bush 100% perfection in every way. .

  92. A.... R....

    Beautiful,again and again and again...

  93. B.... T....

    The sun, The moon , The universe, The best friend, The most beautiful view, The star .... it is this music !

  94. P.... P....

    She is the only woman that makes me hesitate on cheating on gf.

  95. R.... W....

    You know how some people hear songs. And it gives them a weird sense of unease. Because it feels like they heard it from another life or that. It just makes you not feel right. This song is that song to me. The chorus of "The man with a child in his eyes" disturbs me. And I. I don't know why

  96. G.... W....

    Along with Evergreen by Barbara Streisand and lm not in love by 10cc...these songs are the most beautiful... I feel sad when they end because they leave you wanting more. This one takes me back to school in the 70s.... I loved it then and still now.
