Lyrics
When I look in your eyes
I see the wisdom of the world in your eyes
I see the sadness of a thousand goodbyes
When I look in your eyes
And it is no surprise
To see the softness of the moon in your eyes
The gentle sparkle of the stars in the skies
When I look into your eyes
In your eyes
I see the deepness of the sea
I see the deepness of the love
The love I feel you feel for me
Autumn comes, summer dies
I see the passing of the years in your eyes
And when we part there’ll be no tears, no goodbyes
I’ll just look into your eyes
I feel the love you feel for me
Autumn comes, summer dies
I see the passing of the years in your eyes
And when we part there’ll be no tears, no goodbyes
I’ll just look into your eyes
Those eyes, so wise
So warm, so real
How I love the world your eyes reveal
