Green Eyes.

Green Eyes.

For those of our readers who enjoyed the song “Love Still Remains” by Kate Wolf, which we uploaded last evening, we thought we would bring you yet another of her wonderful renditions, “Green Eyes”.

Lyrics and Vocals: By this wonderful and sadly late American folk singer and songwriter Kate Wolf. (1942-1986).

Green Eyes.

Every night we light the candle,
That stands beside our bed.
But sometimes the flame’s too much to handle,
That’s what you said,
That’s what you said,
You should know.
Because you built a fire in me and you made it burn.
You followed me watching every move,
Matching every turn.
Your green eyes, they don’t miss a thing.
They hold me like the sun going down,
Warm me like a fire in the night,
Without a sound.
You were waiting till I heard,
Just as patient as that love light in your eyes.
You never threw away a word,
Or ever talked in a disguise.
I ought to know.
You were a beacon to a sailor lost at sea,
I saw it in your eyes when you looked at me,
So openly.
Your green eyes, they don’t miss a thing,
They hold me like the sun going down.
Warm me like a fire in the night,
Without a sound.
The first time I ever saw your laughter,
Break loose inside and tumble out to me,
My heart knew it had found what it was after,
And it came so easily.
We should know.
After all the years of the hard and heavy times,
Now, our days go by like best friends’ story lines.
Yours and mine.
Your green eyes, they don’t miss a thing,
They hold you like the sun going down,
And warm me like a fire in the night.
Without a sound.
Without a sound.
