If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful

If you say my eyes are beautiful, 
it's because they look at you! 
your tender glance, your gentle gaze, 
they warm me through and through! 

Crystals blazing in the darkness 
light my journey home to you, 
bring me close to your perfection, 
dazzle me with sparkling hue! 

Diamonds shining, ever blinding, 
until I can scarcely see, 
beacons of your grace, your glory, 
thrill my being constantly! 

If you say my eyes are beautiful, 
it's because they look at you!

             ********

...inspired by the beautiful love duet, 
   'If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful' 
   by Jermaine Jackson and Whitney Houston
