Can\'t take my eyes off of you

by Emily Eaton   Feb 21, 2005


I cant take my eyes off of you
even when I'm dreaming i still see you
your like gods creation fixed in a portrait for me
too beautiful to sell
and too precious to share.

My eyes grow wider every time you come near
like luminous flowers blooming in summer fields.
your smile can open up windows
your whole being can stand the clouds still.
but wondrous is your name
given years ago
kept inside a secret box
for only some to know.

your silent whispers float like candles upon still waters
your hands perfectly crafted by the lord
high warriors don't match to your victorious battles that
each day brings you fight off with your strength.

i can't take my eyes off of you
your like a wound up toy forever going.
theres no one else i see or search for
just a perfect one like you
even when i am alone I'm not lonely
because thinking of you brings me comfort.

each time you cry its too painful
so i shed one with you.
yet when your hurt and broken your portrait remains pristine.
simple are your answers and pure are your mistakes
your feelings like a rainbow for everyone to see
red is your loving heart and violet your mystery.

i cant take my eyes off of you
nothing else compares
i even see you in my reflection in the lake
your like the diamond around my neck
giving off amazing colours when lit up by the sun
your laugh is all i hear in an angry crowd
your all i see
but not what i can have
for your too beautiful to hold
touch or love.
