"Old and Wise"

An-other thing I noticed when I listened to Eye in the Sky yester-day is that the end of the line "And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes" in "Old and Wise" ascends, as if to portray that "lift[ing]" musically.  "Lifted from my eyes" is sung to the phrase Bb Bb C D Eb Eb ("my" is sung with a melisma).
