|
Every night we light the candle |
|
that stands beside our bed, |
|
but sometimes the flame's too much to handle, |
|
that's what you said. |
|
That's what you said, |
|
and you should know, |
|
because you built a fire in me and you made it burn, |
|
you followed me watching every move, |
|
matching every turn. |
|
chorus: |
|
Your green eyes they don't miss a thing, |
|
they hold me like the sun going down, |
|
warm me like a fire in the night, without a sound. |
|
You were waiting till I heard, |
|
just as patient as that love light in your eyes, |
|
and never threw away a word, or ever talked in a disguise - |
|
I ought to know. |
|
You were a beacon to a sailor lost at sea, |
|
I saw it in your eyes when you looked at me, so openly. |
|
chorus |
|
The first time I ever saw your laughter break loose inside and tumble out to me, |
|
my heart knew it had found what it was after, and it came so easily |
|
we should know. |
|
After all the years of the hard and lonely times, |
|
now our days go by like best friends' story lines, |
|
yours and mine. |
