Eyes of Love By Paul Helderle Verse 1 I’ve seen the eyes of love Staring back at me, eye to eye I’ve felt the hand of love Lift me up when I was running dry I’ve known the warmth of love In a tender midnight embrace But I let it slip through my fingers Like rain I could not place Pre-Chorus Oh, where, where did that love go? I took it for granted, never helped it grow I was blind to the garden while the flowers died Now I’m left with the weeds I left behind Chorus ‘Cause karma, karma, karma comes around And wisdom only speaks when it’s finally found You only know what you know when you finally see But don’t let yesterday steal tomorrow from me Don’t repeat the shadows Don’t replay the pain The lesson costs too much To make that mistake again Verse 2 Time in a bottle’s just a dream Love in a bottle slowly dies Love ain’t a trophy on a shelf It’s a living thing inside It needs a hand to hold it Needs a heart that’s unafraid Needs the little things we overlook Day after day after day Chorus ‘Cause karma, karma, karma comes around And wisdom only speaks when it’s finally found You only know what you know when you finally see But don’t let yesterday steal tomorrow from me Bridge Is it too much to give this time around? A little more listening, a little less pride? A little more presence, a little less running? A little more truth when it’s easier to hide? No, I don’t think so No, I think I know The road I should’ve traveled A long, long time ago Final Verse A fool’s fool, that’s what I was But “was” ain’t where I have to stay The past is just a photograph Not a prison for today So I won’t wear that fool no more Won’t be the fool I used to be I’ll keep my eyes wide open now For the love that’s looking back at me Outro I’ve seen the eyes of love Looking at me eye to eye This time I’ll hold it gently This time I won’t let it die
