Chris Hillman, foi gravada pelos Byrds entre 28 e 1 de dezembro de
1966, no Columbia Studios, em Hollywood, California. Foi lançada em
22 de maio de 1967 num compacto que tinha Don't make waves como Lado
B. Chris Hillman era o baixista dos Byrds. Chegou ao número 74 dos
charts americanos.
A canção
foi criada após uma sessão de gravação do trumpetista Hugh
Masekela, que Hillman estava. No disco anterior, Hillman só teve
créditos de composição em uma música intrumental chamada Captain
soul. No disco que teve have you seen her face, ele teve créditos
como único autor em 4 músicas, além de co-autor em uma outra com
Jim McGuinn.
Have you
seen her face é fortemente influenciada pelos grupos e complementada
pelo baixo de Hillman, que imitava a maneira de Paul McCartney de
tocar. Tem tambem um solo country tocado por Jim McGuinn.
Não teve
muito sucesso comercial, mas teve uma ótima aceitação da crítica
e é considerada uma das melhores canções dos Byrds.
A letra:
Have you seen
her face her eyes reflect the colors in the sky
A warm familiar place to be swept into
Whenever she's close by makes me wonder why
Run by don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eye
Must be the way she walks a style made up to capture all she needs
No time to spend on loose talk
If your luck runs right she might see you tonight anything in sight
Run by don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eyes
You'll find your locked in her spell all the sights and sounds
Your senses will be found
That only time will tell how much love can be to wait so patiently
Wait and see
Run by don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eyes
A warm familiar place to be swept into
Whenever she's close by makes me wonder why
Run by don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eye
Must be the way she walks a style made up to capture all she needs
No time to spend on loose talk
If your luck runs right she might see you tonight anything in sight
Run by don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eyes
You'll find your locked in her spell all the sights and sounds
Your senses will be found
That only time will tell how much love can be to wait so patiently
Wait and see
Run by don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eyes
