Almond Eyes

Almond eyes, oh how they tried
To see the light in the dark
Troubled mind, with memories so unkind
And it got harder to pretend each day that they were blind

If I could find the answer to your problems
You would see, you would see
That the tears you've cried would rise into the sun
And leave a sparkle in the dark of your almond eyes

Love of mine, when you told me you were scared
I remember where we were
We were standing hand in hand neath the arch in the square

And I made up my mind
I'd find some way to restore
All the love you'd never known in the life you'd lived before

How can I walk away
When I've been searching for the answer every day
And it breaks my heart that the scars you're hiding
Never seem to fade
Oh if I could find the answer darling
We might sail away
To where the sun would bathe your face with rays of light
And all the light in you'd come pouring out your almond eyes

Hear me, life's just a brief history of changes
And it's for the lucky ones to know
How temporary hurt can be
When every day we're getting older
And if I lose the chance to hold you
I hope you feed your flame
Until it burns too bright to bottle up inside
And all the light in you comes pouring out your almond eyes
