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

'Cause you built a fire in me and you made it burn

You followed me watching every move

Matching every turn

You were waiting till I heard

Just as patient as the love light in your eyes

You 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

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

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

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
