HER EYES

THEY WATCH YOU PATIENTLY AND QUIETLY

THEY GLANCE AROUND THE ROOM UNKNOWING

IF YOU WOULD ONLY TAKE THE TIME

WHAT IT IS YOU’LL FIND 

IS THE STRENGTH BEHIND THEM

ALTHOUGH THEY GAZE INTO THE DISTANCE

ALTHOUGH THEY PUT UP MUCH RESISTANCE

YOU CAN LOOK STRAIGHT INTO HER EYES

PLEASE DON’T BE SURPRISED

BY THE STRENGTH BEHIND THEM

SOME SAY 

THAT IT’S JUST A TWINKLE 

GLISTENING IN THE LIGHT

I KNOW 

THAT THESE PRECIOUS JEWELS

REVEAL ALL THE DEPTHS OF THE HEART

THE MASK UPFRONT MAY NOT REVEAL IT

THE SMILE ALONE ALMOST CONCEALS IT

BUT IF YOU LOOK DEEP INTO HER EYES

LET THEM BOTH REVEAL

ALL THE STRENGTH BEHIND THEM

SOLO

SOME SAY 

THAT IT’S JUST A TWINKLE 

GLISTENING IN THE LIGHT

I KNOW 

THAT THESE PRECIOUS JEWELS

REVEAL ALL THE DEPTHS OF THE HEART

THE DEPTHS SHE HAS THEY WILL NOT DROWN YOU

THE LOVE SHE HAS IT WILL NOT BLIND YOU 

BE BOLD LOOK STRAIGHT INTO HER EYES

PLEASE DON’T BE SURPRISED 

BY THE STRENGTH BEHIND THEM
