In the shelter of your eyes –
is where I want to be,
just to know your love -
is watching over me.

Fulfilling all my dreams -
as each day passes by,
and always knowing that -
there is no reason for me to cry.

If I reach out my hand -
to feel you here with me,
and feel the warmth of sunshine -
which only you can see.

Then I will have been blessed -
and graced so very tenderly,
in the shelter of your eyes -
looking down on me.

If I should drift apart -
from love that is so true,
then the shelter of your eyes -
will bring me back to you.

Now I can see the rainbows -
I never saw before,
and smell the purple lilacs -
and Oh, so much more.

When I look for friendship -
on a day when I am blue,
I’ll look into your eyes -
and know that it is you.

If I feel some pain and -
know not the reason why,
I’ll look up toward the heavens -
for the shelter in your eyes.

I can climb the lofty mountains -
that once seemed so high,
and see the twinkling of your love -
up there in the sky.

In the shelter of your eyes -
is where I would start,
for happiness only comes -
when I look into your heart!

When I have shared the gifts -
that you have graced to me,
then I will feel the wonder -
in an everlasting peace.

I will gladly serve you -
my Master from on high,
and know that true love only lives -
in the shelter of your eyes!
