All These Years Later

I look into your eyes all these years later
I see the same man 
Gentle blue eyes that give me one look
And I feel  twenty again

The love that shines from your eyes
 Is timeless and true
Never fading, never doubting
My love for you

I look into your eyes all these years later
And I see the same gentleness
That I have never been without
My trust is forever with you

You are a man of intelligence
And a remarkable sense of humour
You gave me the gift of laughter
When I thought I wouldn’t smile again

I look into your eyes all these years later
I see the same man who stole my heart
And kept me safe in his arms
Never to let me go
