Would Always Last

Sometimes when I am very close to you
I don't need to hear your lips speak
For I can read deep within your eyes
The feelings your heart forever keeps

If I were to take you by your hand
Walking together taking a step or two
Your heart will speak through its touch
Always telling me that you love me true

When I kiss you upon your lovely lips
My heart is still filled with the thrill
Which first I felt when I met your smile
Making a special moment more than real

It still works that same spellbinding way
As the first moment when first we met 
For I never needed to hear your lips speak
For your eyes told me our love would last.

(to my wife - 1978)
