Paradise In Your Eyes

Paradise in your eyes

I was love's emissary...
on a mission from God,
love letters were written ...
but, in the desert were lost,

A broken compass to guide me...
but, hidden in the sand,
Thirsty desire compels me...
as, hope slipped through my hands

Bridge
The burning sun...blazed down upon me,
my perceptions ... faded so quickly,
but, just then I see...

Chorus
I see paradise...not a mere mirage...
you are a perfect reflection, my love
you put my heart on pause...and,
I see paradise...I see paradise...
I see paradise...
in your eyes.

I had a vagabond heart...
a gypsy soul too,
Chasing tails in circles...
in a room with no view,

Living life without reason...
without any rhyme,
You came along in due season...
in the nick of time.

Bridge
The burning sun...blazed down upon me,
my perceptions...faded so quickly,
but, just then I see...

Chorus
I see paradise...not a mere mirage...
you are a perfect reflection, my love,
you put my heart on pause...
I see paradise...I see paradise...
I see paradise...
in your eyes.

Bridge
The burning sun...blazed down upon me,
my perceptions...faded so quickly,
but, just then I see...

Chorus
I see paradise...not a mere mirage...
you are a perfect reflection, my love,
you put my heart on pause...
I see paradise...I see paradise...
I see paradise...
in your eyes.

I see paradise...I see paradise...
I see paradise...
in your eyes.
