Something In Your Eyes

There was a certain face That filled a thousand nights With all the sweetest dreams And promises of paradise But that face was gone When the dawn would come and steal you Yet, I still could feel you Waiting just a kiss away I'd surely know your face Your love would cast a spell I'd recognize each curve and line of you, I knew it well Now at last you're here and I can tell [Chorus] Something in your eyes I see Is all I ever wanted And something in your smile for me Is calling out my name Your eyes, it seems Are mirrors of my dreams In ways I can't explain. And my heart will never be the same We never said a word As if we'd always known But through the bittersweet of waiting We were not alone Now we're close enough For the touch of love to find us Fantasies designed us But they never really could Begin to measure you No pictures ever do And as I watch you framed in sunlight In a sky of blue I know what my life's been leading to [Chorus: x2] And my heart will never be the same Something in your eyes
