Staring At Me

Shutting off the lights for bed

I picture your eyes in my head

Thinking how you’re smiling eyes

Always seem to look at mine

My heart that's jumping off its feet

Making everything thought complete

With just one look I'd recognize

The gentle kindness of your eyes



I never thought words could be so hard

But you’re all I ever wanted

It makes me feel so loved and free

Your eyes looking at me

Stay still because



Every time I look away

I gather words that I could say

Once I turn to your loving face

My words suddenly lose their place

My hands have chills run inside

Just by looking in those eyes

I really want to look at you

But what if you don't want me to



I never thought words could be so hard

But you’re all I ever wanted

It makes me feel so loved and free

Your eyes looking at me

Stay still because



I could stare forever without blinking

Without my words, without thinking

Just like I’m the only one you see

Right inside, right next to me

Once the feeling has gone from me

I suddenly feel incomplete

Your eyes leave me and I sink down

They turn to someone else you’ve found

If only it was me again....



I never thought words could be so hard

But you’re all I ever wanted

It makes me feel so loved and free

Your eyes looking at me

Stay still because I think I love you
