Lyrics
Verse 1
Green eyes shining in the summer rain
Soft as a whisper calling out my name
You smiled and the whole night came alive
Like a dream teaching broken hearts to fly
Verse 2
Green eyes glowing in the pale moonlight
Holding a fire that could turn dark bright
Every word fell easy, warm and true
I found a home the night I looked at you
Chorus
Green eyes, don’t you fade away
Stay with me till the end of day
In your gaze I found blue skies
My forever lives in your green eyes
Verse 3
We walked slow where the old street lanterns swayed
Talking of the love we were afraid to say
Your hand in mine felt simple as a song
Like I had known your heart my whole life long
Chorus
Green eyes, don’t you fade away
Stay with me till the end of day
In your gaze I found blue skies
My forever lives in your green eyes
Bridge
If all the stars should lose their light above
I’d still be guided by your gentle love
No gold on earth could ever mean as much
As the trembling magic of your touch
Chorus
Green eyes, don’t you fade away
Stay with me till the end of day
In your gaze I found blue skies
My forever lives in your green eyes
Outro
Green eyes… hold me through the night
Green eyes… everything feels right
And if love has a soft disguise
It’s living forever in your green eyes.
