(“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.
