Green Eyes |
Every night we light the candle |
that stands beside our bed, |
but sometimes the flame’s too much to handle, |
that’s what you said. |
That’s what you said, |
and you should know, |
because you built a fire in me and you made it burn, |
you followed me watching every move, |
matching every turn. |
Your green eyes they don’t miss a thing, |
they hold me like the sun going down, |
warm me like a fire in the night, without a sound. |
You were waiting till I heard, |
just as patient as that love light in your eyes, |
and never threw away a word, or ever talked in a disguise — |
I ought to know. |
You were a beacon to a sailor lost at sea, |
I saw it in your eyes when you looked at me, so openly. |
The first time I ever saw your laughter break loose inside and tumble out to me, |
my heart knew it had found what it was after, and it came so easily we should |
know. |
After all the years of the hard and lonely times, |
now our days go by like best friends' story lines, |
yours and mine. |
