In Your Eyes

A summer’s walk on painted sand 
Along the beach at night 
The salty air may bring a chill 
But my arms will hold you tight 
  
I feel you look into my soul 
You see past my thin disguise 
At once the world just fades away 
Lost here in your eyes 
  
What life had I before this night 
Before your love’s sweet calling? 
No shade of peril to hold me bound 
My heart’s already fallen 
  
Your kiss that lingers at my lips 
Draws out a gentle sigh 
You bring life into this man who’s 
Lost here in your eyes 
  
In your embrace I find myself 
Lost in your sweet eyes
