In My Eyes

you don't have to try at all
you've already got my heart
it didn't take you very long
it happened right from the start

if you entrust your love to me
I will keep it warm
nourishing it and tenderly
I'll keep it from harm

what I've found, the love you give
has taken me by surprise
and all the feelings you display
reflect back in my eyes
