Green Eyes

~ ~ Every night we light the candle That stands beside our bed    And sometimes the flame's too much to handle That's what you said, that's what you said And you should know Because you built a fire in me and you made it burn You followed me, watching every move G ~ ~ ~ Matching every turn 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       And 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 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 G ~ ~ ~ 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' story lines G ~ ~ ~ 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, hmm hmm hmm Without a sound
