"I get lost in your eyes"
     I'm taken to a place where the sun never rises
     and the stars always shine
"And I feel my spirits rise"
     My wings are open and I'm soaring through the air
     the earth below me without a care
"And soar like the wind"
     Carrying me away from this place that I know
     to your side so my love can show
"Is it love that I am in?"
     A love that is pure and bold and true
     this is the love that I've found with you

"I don't mind not knowing what I'm headed for"
     This is the place that I've always longed to go
     and I can't wait to see what you've got to show
"You can take me to the skies"
     To a love that's new, a love unknown
     a love that's just so easy to show
"It's like being lost in heaven"
     And when we reach that beautiful place
     we'll finally be together arm in arm and face to face
"When I am lost. . . in your eyes"
     The eyes I've searched for my whole life through
     and I'm so glad I found them in you

Never seen such beautiful twists and added meanings to one of my favourite songs.
A gift for me at least...thanks Sven

Sven....very nice work!!  Interesting form incorporating lines from the song with your own.  New love is special, isn't it?
