I get lost in your eyes
And I feel my spirits rise 
And soar like the wind
Is it love that I am in?

I get weak in a glance
Isn't this what's called romance
And now I know 
'Cause when I'm lost I can't let go

I don't mind not knowing what I'm headed for
You can take me to the skies
It's like being lost in heaven
When I'm lost in your eyes

I just fell, don't know why
Something's there we can't deny
And when I first knew
Was when I first looked at you

And if I can't find my way
If salvation seems worlds away
Oh, I'll be found
When I am lost in your eyes

I don't mind not knowing what I'm headed for
You can take me to the skies
It's like being lost in heaven
When I'm lost in your eyes

I get weak in a glance
Isn't this what's called romance?
Oh, I'll be found 
When I am lost in your eyes
