I Am Blessed When Your Eyes Awaken

I am blessed when you open your eyes, and your beauty comes into view,
Within your arms, I live anew, forgetting all the world with you.

In the silence of the night, I search for you in dreams,
And in the golden light of dawn, your name is all that gleams.

If your eyes begin to smile, my world becomes a garden in bloom,
But if sorrow clouds your face, my heart is filled with gloom.

How sweet it is when you sit beside me, so gentle and so near,
For in the music of your voice, I find the peace I hold so dear.

Come, sit beside me, let me tell the secrets of my heart,
For I have wandered through my thoughts of you, though we may be apart.

I do not seek your beauty alone, nor love born of desire,
I seek the soul that lives within you, the heart that sets my world on fire.

If someday all the world should leave me in a sea of endless sorrow,
Your laughter would give me hope again, and strength to face tomorrow.

Come, let us walk this winding road, with our hands held close together,
For even through the darkest storms, I would leave you never.

I fear no uncertain future, no matter where the road may lead,
For with you beside me, I have everything I'll ever need.

You are the quiet peace I find when all the world is loud,
A single smile from you can lift my heart above the clouds.

If rain should fall upon us, beneath your shoulder I would stay,
Far from every grief and sorrow, letting love light up the way.

If the sun should hide its face, and moonlight fade away,
Your presence would become my light, my dawn, my brightest day.

Why should I wish upon the stars when I can look into your eyes?
Why seek a distant paradise when love with you is my paradise?

I wish that every morning would begin with seeing you,
And every night I'd fall asleep with dreams of us anew.

If I were born a hundred times beneath this endless sky,
A hundred times I'd choose your love, and never wonder why.

My promise is not easily broken, nor will I turn away,
I fear neither hardship nor the storms that cross our way.

And if the years should steal my youth and silver touch my hair,
The love I hold for you will still be young, beyond compare.

If winter paints my hair with snow and time slows down my pace,
Your love will keep a springtime blooming deep within this place.

I do not need the treasures of the world, its riches or its throne,
For loving you has made me richer than a king upon his own.

Come, let us write a story that our hearts alone can tell,
A tale of love and faithfulness, remembered long and well.

Let kindness be the language that our two hearts always speak,
And let our love bring light to those whose hopes have grown too weak.

I speak of love that does not die when hardship comes to stay,
That does not tremble with a quarrel or fade with distance's sway.

And if one day a silence builds a wall between our hearts,
Remember, love may still remain when every word departs.

Take me with your laughter to the distant shores of dreams,
Where every wave tells stories of the love that brightly gleams.

I wish to walk beneath the rain and share our hopes for years,
While you speak softly of tomorrow, and I forget my fears.

I do not need the sun to shine upon you every day,
I only wish to be your shelter when the skies turn grey.

I do not ask that every day be filled with joy and laughter,
If tears should find your eyes, I'll stay beside you ever after.

If your heart is broken, if the world has caused you pain,
I will offer you my shoulder until you smile again.

If you grow tired of yourself, if life becomes too hard,
Come rest within my arms; you need no words or guard.

I do not seek a passing love that disappears with ease,
But someone who will stay with me through every storm and breeze.

For many speak of love with words that sound so sweet,
Yet vanish when the hardest days come knocking at their feet.

I speak of love whose meaning lives in everything we do,
Not in a thousand empty promises, but in a heart that's true.

If distance ever comes between us, if separate roads we find,
Remember that your place within my heart remains entwined.

If I were born a hundred times beneath this earthly sky,
Through every fate and every life, I'd choose you by and by.

And if they ask what I have gained throughout my years on Earth,
I'll say one moment spent with you was worth a lifetime's worth.

And if they ask what happiness truly means to me,
I'll say a peaceful heart beside the one I love to see.

And if they ask why I speak of you with such devotion,
I'll say you are the reason behind my heart's emotion.

If someday I am gone and cannot write another line,
Know that every word I ever wrote was touched by love divine.

If one day my notebook closes and my pen falls from my hand,
Your memory will remain within my heart, forever where I stand.

For this love shall not surrender to the passing of the years,
Nor shall its flame be silenced by the weight of time or tears.

Stay, so I may share with you the meaning of this life,
Stay, so I may find myself beyond all pain and strife.

Stay, so every sunrise brings the blessing of your face,
Stay, so every star-filled night becomes a sacred place.

Stay, so time will never steal the story that we write,
Stay, so faithfulness may shine beyond the darkest night.

And once again, I'll sing the song with which my heart began:

I am blessed when you open your eyes, and your beauty comes into view,
Within your arms, I live anew, forgetting all the world with you.

For I have crossed a thousand roads in search of love's embrace,
Yet found my entire universe within your eyes and grace.
