I feel your shimmering eyes into my soul
                                                   
And your life is all around my time, now don't you know
                                         
Every time your sunrise drives my night away
                                                                       
It make my lifetime soar in circles, like the swallows wheeling in the day
                                                     
Now our time can start to run.  The hourglass has just begun
                                                            (2X)
Life was meant for having fun.  As we were meant to be

                                 
I've been living blind in one eyed land.
                               
Among those kings I thought were grand
                                                     
Till time had opened up my eyes.  And there I found to my surprise
                                                    
That life without you was empty as a nest in winter lie

Break       (4X)           (7X)  Ething  (4X)    

                                                  
Strolling in the garden, sunshine of a California day
                                                            
With you by my side, the tears we cried have dried and gone away
                                                               
The darkness of the Northland, the wintertime has all begun to run
                                                                      
Through the deltas of a passing sorrow, now that you and I are really one
                                                              
Now we're flying down the way, where all our hopes have time to stay
                                                   
And we can marvel at the time, that floats us in its path

                                 
I've been living blind in one eyed land.
                               
Among those kings I thought were grand
                                                     
Till time had opened up my eyes.  And there I found to my surprise
                                                    
That life without you was empty as a nest in winters lie
