lyrics

Home in Your Eyes
On the day I was born I opened my eyes and gazed upon your lovely face.
Something in you I recognized as God and I came home in your sweet embrace.
She answered my prayers when she sent you to me; a treasure hidden in full view.
How long have I loved you? How long have you loved me? Born with the memory of you.
Now I can’t live without you. I won’t even try. I can’t live without you.
I want to be strong, I want to belong. I want to give it all away for-
Home in your eyes, home in your eyes, home in your eyes. Oh, I’d almost forgotten.

I hear the rain and imagine your sweet mouth. I see pictures each time we kiss
Open your window and you’ll hear me calling your name like a prayer, like a wish
I feel an angel’s hand guide us through shifting sands. I offer my sacrifice.
You blew my world apart when you offered your heart. Now nothing else will suffice.
Now I can’t live without you. I won’t even try. I can’t live without you.
I reel in your love, in your circle of doves; knowing you’re in the world with me.
Home in your eyes, home in your eyes, home in your eyes. Oh, I’d almost forgotten.
