Your Eyes

Looking back now, I was weak, so afraid
The future looked so cloudy and dark
But slowly those skies gave way unto dawn
Starting the moment I gave you my heart

All those fears in the past, no longer cause me distress
The future I feared blossomed into newfound love
And although I'm still weak, and not much has changed
I look up, and don't dread the clouds above

Yet when beside you I lay, and admire your eyes
They become lenses of what the future has instore
I see all the precious moments I'll spend with you
All the moments that I'll cherish and adore

Although your eyes show the good times to be
Alas, I can also see trials that lie ahead
And for a few quick moments of weakness
All the dark come, and muster overhead

I rejoice to see our future, within the beauty of your eyes
But when I think of those trials, cloudy fears rise anew
But no matter the fear, my resolve will stay the same
For I know I'll survive anything, as long as I'm in love with you

Your eyes, oh your eyes... Beautiful, majestic, and green
Are the lenses of our future, our love, our trust
And I will never lose heart, for I know a beautiful dawn...
Will always follow after the clouds of dusk

Such a wonderful love, often so difficult to find
But my search is now over, I found you. One of a kind
And when I hold you in my arms, I again realize
Our love will never die, I've seen it in your eyes
