I Can See It In Your Eyes

© 2009 Mark Cote

1. Magnified through a tear drop
    the story of your life
    the shimmers and darkness
    and pain and strife

splashes on the floor
to be seen no more
absorbed into the night

(chorus) I can see it in your eyes
                your hurt and surprise
                and the wonder all around
                just looking to be found
                I can see it in your eyes
                years have put you wise
                I understand it all
                and will never let you fall

2. a fragile heart that may break
    but it's hand reaches out
    the fear of the unknown
    and questions of doubt

the fire's too strong
like the love of a song
(chorus)

3. a depth that goes on for miles
    from blue sea to warming shore
    that flows without end
    from this girl-next-door

the flowers still shine
in your heart and mine
(chorus)

   I can see it in your eyes
   years have put you wise
   I understand it all
   and will never let you fall
