Through Love's Eyes
Beside me you lie in sleep
Lines of living crease your face
New stubble on your cheek
As with a new day we are graced
I know beneath what time and life have worn
There lies a fair and curly headed boy
I know the angels smiled when you were born
I'm grateful, for with you I've known pure joy
Beside me you lie in sleep
Your denim eyes deserved of their rest
Too soon the new day calls us forth
To face new triumphs and new tests
Though time has left its mark on you and I
When you're in slumber I can clearly see
those flashing eyes and that mischievous grin
Of the young man that lies so close to me.
