Violet Eyes

It's been awhile, since you've been around
I've been drifting like a gypsy from town to town
I've been to France and Rome
Seen Duomos glittered dome
I've laid beneath Spanish summer skies
But I've seen nothing so lovely as your violet eyes

Do you recall the turquoise seas
On the isles off the shores of Greece
I've sworn I won't forget
Your exact smile or where we went
I see you in everything
And everywhere I go
I see your violet eyes

Seasons come and seasons pass
Time can seem so fragile
Like a looking glass
Oh, I know there must be something
More constant than time
'Cause everywhere I go
I see your violet eyes

If I could write a postcard to you
And know that somehow it would get through
I'm not sure I could express
This aching in my chest
I guess, I'll always miss you
And everywhere I go
I see your violet eyes

Seasons come and seasons pass
Time seems so fragile
Like a looking glass
Oh, I know there must be something
More constant than time
'Cause everywhere I go
I see your violet eyes

It was a year ago last Christmas
That we spent in Hawaii
We were laughing beneath the sand
We were playing in the sea
It'll be year coming this Forth of July
When I held your hand
And for the last time
You closed your violet eyes

Seasons come, oh ah, seasons pass
Time seems so fragile
It's as fragile as a looking glass
I know there must be something
More constant that time
'Cause at night, when I sleep
I feel you all around me
I feel your eyes upon me
I see your violet eyes
