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 in 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 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

If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

If I’d never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me

In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes

And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

Why did I choose you
What did I see in you?
I saw the heart you hide so well.
I saw a quiet man,
who had a gentle way
A way that caught me
In its glowing span.

Why did I want you?
What could you offer me?
A love to last a lifetime through
And when I lost my heart
so many years ago
I lost it lovingly and willingly to you

If I had to choose again
I would still choose you.

Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you.
