Seeing through your eyes

SEEING THROUGH YOUR EYES

 

Although I didn't get to say I love you

I feel there will never be goodbyes

From my own flesh you came and I'm not ashamed

There's nothing in this world as real, as the love of a child

 

Now I'm seeing through your eyes for the first time

I know you will be with me forever more

Yes you've given me the gift of sight

Taken me from darkness into light

I'm looking through a window into sunlight

And the love you gave is washing over me

I know it's not the same and I cannot blame your life or mine

I'll find peace of mind, knowing you loved me as I love you

Now I can feel you walking in the shadows

I'm sure I hear you singing in the rain

You touch my heart anew when I'm feeling sad and blue

That's when I hear the sound of music on the air

Yes I'm seeing through your eyes for the first time

And you will be with me forever more

I thank you for the gift of sight

And taking me from darkness into light
