Green Eyes

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 made it burn followed me watching every move matching every turn chorus: the green eyes they don't miss a thing hold me like the sun going down warm me like a fire in the night without a sound mmm you were waiting till I heard just as patient as that love light in your eyes you never threw away a word or ever talked in a disguise I want to know you were a beacon to a sailor lost at sea I saw it in your eyes when you looked at me so hope in me 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 heavy times now our days go by like best friends' story lines yours and mine chorus mmm without a sound
