Tell Me With Your Eyes

"Tell Me With Your Eyes"





Tell me with your eyes--


words have lied;


as blossoms withered and died.


Tonight I need more--


to get beyond the pain;


tell me with your eyes,


perhaps I'll love again.





Some say that "eyes are windows"--


Yours sing of love to give;


I have been a minstrel,


often played to live;


open wide your door beams light


from a house where love abides--


once dreaming I thought


a house built with love


was sturdy on all sides;





Tell me with your eyes--


mine have been closed;


but yours are open wide


and only heaven knows


how sadly love deprived


makes dark the brightest day--


tell me with your eyes


and mine will ask to stay....
