Eyes on meWhenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar
My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you
* Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you
Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming

i got a sudden craving to play ffviii after playing it for the first time in secondary school/primary school (cant remember), cause my memory card got stolen after i almost got to disc 4. so i went down desperately to find the pc version of the game. went down to comic connection, sad only got ffvii but managed to find it in the game stall beside it. so yeah bought the game and chiong.
finally finished the game today, beating omega and ultimercia.
and savoured the ending.
i love the part when laguna visited raine's grave. i think that part is the most touching in the whole game, more than squall and rinoa. after all, this song, is meant for laguna.
laguna with his buddies ward and kiros would always visit these bar where they would watch julia perform a piano piece, hence the lyrics. laguna got a crush on julia, julia kind of like him too. then she invite him to her room, to get to know him better. in the end, it was abruptly stopped when laguna got orders for a mission. in the mission, he nearly died but was nursed back to health by raine in winhill.
julia thought laguna had died after a long absence. She finally composed the song, Eyes on me, while in her distress, general caraway took care of her, and she married him, and gave birth to Rinoa. However, julia would never get to see laguna again, as she died in an accident when rinoa was 5 years old.
meanwhile, laguna fell for raine and they shared a romance which many in their village disapproved as they felt that laguna would only serve to harm raine. in a turn of events, ellone (raine's daughter) was kidnapped by esthar's soldiers by orders of sorceress adel. Laguna went to esthar in hope to save her, but he didnt know in the mean time, raine had given birth to his son, and her last wish was to see laguna once more before she died of illness. that never happened, as laguna went to esthar. so therefore, the son was sent to Edea's orphanage.
So you can roughly guess it, Squall is Laguna and Raine's son. Laguna would return to Winhill after the rescue but he found out raine has passed away. He then took away the photo in raine's pub/house that contains picture of raine and squall.
Ellone tried to use her powers to sent Squall back to time to try to help her fulfil raine's dying wish, but couldnt. and then begins the love story of Rinoa and Squall.
lol. sorry for the spoilers but just feel like typing it. argh. the grave part is just so touching!
