Could Be Anywhere...

I Only See You With My Heart

You come to me with your tears
crying about latest wrinkle, maybe two.
Laughing I take you in my arms to whisper once again
just how very much... I love you.
Darling, I don’t see you with my eyes
I only see you, with my heart!

I don’t see extra pounds,
I don’t see time, I don’t see the scars.
I don’t see imperfections
I don’t see us separate
or even just apart... ‘cause baby,
I only see you, with my heart!

When I must open my eyes
I see lifes dirty, sneaky little lies.
Some say  I  bury my head in the sand
or that I live in a fantasy land.
I just choose, not to use,  my eyes
I only see you, with my heart!

When I use these old eyes
I see the world, and it’s demise.
Friends all accuse, cause eyes I don’t use
I don’t want to join, be part of that crew.
I have made my decision, and gave my vow
I only see you, with my heart!

These eyes, they do lie
so darlin remind me,  when you cry.
If I look and see you unkindly
please take my hand, help me understand
remind me, my eyes are lying again.
Kiss me softly, oh so sweetly,
I only see you, with my heart!

Beautiful love song, Daniel, very beautiful! The eyes alone can never see the full picture. The heart's vision is always the way to view someone! Very well expressed! Can't wait to hear this set to music!

Dan...this is stunning! What a beautiful sentiment. Love ya lots....Sis

How can you save me?
When the dark comes right in and takes me,
from my front walk and into bed,
where it kisses my face and eats my head. Shivaree

liberally sprinkled with "Hallmark"
cliches and all?  lol
thanks for the imput, my friends!
written as a song...so i guess the
trite pharse-ology is a bit more palatable?
