Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Eyes like a river to the sea
Reaching wide and running deep
Kind and honest
I, I see you looking down at me
Like a child up in a tree
When the sun is high
And the grass is vivid green
And the swallows make a scene
Bathe it all in life
And rabbits made of velveteen
Fingers drifting over knees
And a thousand nights
All our fears can fall to sleep
And the darkness that we keep
Can't put out our light
And a tear runs down my cheek
When I feel you loving me
With kind and honest eyes
