(Verse 1) The world has a way of looking without seeing. For a long time I walked through a crowded room and felt like a shadow or a ghost in a tomb... People saw the armor and the cracks and the dust. They saw a man they did not know how to trust. They saw the stumbles and the lines on my face and decided there was not much left to embrace. They looked at the rough and they missed the gold. They turned away before my story was told. (Chorus) oh those green eyes saw right through the haze. They found the light in my darkest of days. Where the world saw a desert you saw the spring. You saw the man that a life could bring. Yeah you are the only eyes that truly saw me. (Post-Chorus) Oh those eyes. The only eyes that saw the best of me. Oh those beautiful green eyes. (Verse 2) But then there were your eyes. Two emerald fires burning with truths and with honest desires. When you looked at me the world fell away and for the first time I had something to say. While others saw a wall you saw a door. You saw a man worth fighting for. In the depth of those eyes so vibrant and deep were secrets and promises I wanted to keep. You did not see a project or a ghost of the past. You saw a love that was built to last. (Chorus) oh those green eyes saw right through the haze. They found the light in my darkest of days. Where the world saw a desert you saw the spring. You saw the man that a life could bring. Yeah you are the only eyes that truly saw me. (Post-Chorus) Oh those eyes. The only eyes that saw the best of me. Oh those beautiful green eyes. (Verse 3) How is it that you with a single green glance were the only soul willing to give me a chance. You looked past the noise and you looked past the fear to the heart of the man that you wanted near. It is a miracle really the way that you knew that the version they saw was not the version that is true. You reached through the wreckage and took my hand and helped me to find a place I could stand. You saw the strength when I felt only weak. You found the words when I could not speak. (Bridge) They looked at the surface and they walked away. They did not have a single kind word to say. But you took a chance on the heart underneath. You are the air that I finally know how to breathe. (Chorus) oh those green eyes saw right through the haze. They found the light in my darkest of days. Where the world saw a desert you saw the spring. You saw the man that a life could bring. Yeah you are the only eyes that truly saw me. (Post-Chorus) Oh those eyes. The only eyes that saw the best of me. Oh those beautiful green eyes...
