My eyelashes are growin’ and growin’ They’re telling the world to look me straight in the eye And I could swear, the way those lashes are goin’ Someday, they’re gonna reach to the sky Yes someday me and my lashes, will reach to the... sky Your eyelashes are growin’ and growin’ They’re telling the world to look you straight in the eye And I could swear, the way those lashes are goin’ Someday, they’re gonna reach to the sky Yes someday you and those lashes, will reach to the... sky from Better Than Fiction (12 Song Album) 2009, released January 1, 2009 Written by Jenn Alexander ©2008 Gone Curly Publishing (ASCAP) Zodlounge Music Productions Piano: Lynn Hutchinson“
