Your Eyes
Joe Ely
YOUR EYES GIVE ME A WINDOW
THROUGH WHICH THE LIGHT SHINES ON MY WORLD
THEY REFLECT THE SUN THAT BEAMS THE TRUTH
AS WINDS TO SAILS UNFURLED
THE SHOW ME THERE'S NO DARKNESS
WHEN LOVE IS IN THE AIR
THEY GIVE ME UNDERSTANDING
NOT TO KEEP BUT ALWAYS SHARE
I SEE YOUR EYES, BRIGHT SHINING EYES
YOUR EYES CALL FOR A MELODY
IT RISES TO CLOUDS ON HIGH
INSPIRED BY FLUTES AND STEEL GUITARS
CASCADING AS THEY FLY
TO GIVE ME HOPE WHEN NONE IS NEAR
BEYOND THESE EARTHLY BOUNDS
AND LET THEM SETTLE WITHOUT FEAR
ON SOFTER, SACRED GROUNDS
I SEE YOUR EYES, BRIGHT SHINING EYES
