Green Eyes
Kate Wolf (1985)

Every night we light the candle
That stands beside our bed
And 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
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 mm mmm
And 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 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
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 mm mmm
(instr.) -
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
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 mm mmm
Without a sound
