Lyrics
I know stone
And I know gold
Were the word
I heard you whisper
But eyes can see
From near and far
And you never know
How far you are
So judge it fair
When you use
Those steel blue eyes
We met that time
The storm winds blew
Like torn leaves
We swirled ‘round and ‘round
We parried and thrust
Blocked those telling blows
Protected hard
That tender spot
That you feared the worst
Shone within
Those steel blue eyes
Close your eyes
To the world of dust and clay
And pierce the veils
That hide this brilliant day
We’ve got a choice
But that choice is hard
Were the words
I heard you cry
To love or not
Were your thoughts that day
But the world’s not
So black and white
The love is sweet
Shining from
Those steel blue eyes
