Eyes Like the Morning

                      For Colleen, with all my love

She was sitting in the coffeehouse, seventeen years old;
Grey eyes like the morning sky, lit with streaks of gold;
I had no way of knowing where it all would end
When I looked into those sunlit eyes and knew I'd found a friend.



    Eyes like the morning, smile like the sun,
    Voice like the forest glades where rippling waters run;
    Love soft as starlight, deeper than the sea,
    When eyes like the morning look   at me.  

Fifty years together doesn't seem so long:
Days of rain and roses; laughter, love, and song;
Mystery and moonlight; mornings when I rise
And see myself reflected with the sunrise in her eyes.



    Eyes like the morning, smile like the sun,
    Voice like the forest glades where rippling waters run;
    Love soft as starlight, deeper than the sea,
    When eyes like the morning look   at me.  

    Instrumental bridge -- verse + chorus

Listen! the stars are calling, with a wild and distant sound,
And there's no way to answer when you're stuck down on the ground,
But I see our children gazing at the deep and starry skies,
Looking past the darkness, with tomorrow in their eyes.



    Eyes like the morning, smile like the sun,
    Voice like the forest glades where rippling waters run;
    Love soft as starlight, deeper than the sea,
    When eyes like the morning look   at me.

A Valentine's Day present for my wife, written when we only had one
child and their eyes weren't as green as they are now.
