When I Look In Your Eyes

Carol Sloane · Other Songs - Carol Sloane

When I look in your eyes

I see the wisdom of the world in your eyes

I see the sadness of a thousand goodbyes

When I look in your eyes



And it is no surprise

To see the softness of the moon in your eyes

The gentle sparkle of the stars in your eyes

When I look in your eyes



In your eyes, I see the deepness of the sea

I see the deepness of the love

The love I feel you feel for me



Autumn comes, summer dies

I see the passing of the years in your eyes

And when we part there will be no tears no goodbyes

I'll just look into your eyes



Those eyes, so wise

So warm, so real

How I love the world your eyes reveal
