Green Eyes
Pauline Reese
Every night we light the candle
That stands beside our bed
Sometimes the flame's too much to handle
That's what you said
That's what you said
And you should know
'Cause you built a fire in me and you made it glow
You followed me watching every move
Matching every turn
The green eyes that don't miss a thing
They hold me like the Sun going down
They 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
You never threw away a word
Or ever talked in a disguise
And I ought to know
You were a beacon to a sailor lost at sea
And I could see it in your eyes when you looked at me
So openly
The green eyes that don't miss a thing
They hold me like the Sun going down
They warm me like a fire in the night
Without a sound
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 heavy times
Now our days go by like best friends' storylines
Yours and mine
The green eyes that don't miss a thing
They hold me like the Sun going down
They warm me like a fire in the night
Without a sound
Without a sound
Without a sound
