After flying thousands of miles
your eyes tear up and shine
almost every time you look at me
most precious little pearls
of love, care and worry
for your days have been my nights
and your nights my days
for too long
your eyes tear up and shine
almost every time you look at me
most precious little pearls
of love, care and worry
for your days have been my nights
and your nights my days
for too long
the honest glow in your eyes
collapses the miles
and makes the world just as small
as we want it to be
even momentarily
with the sun
warming our cheeks together
and we hold on to these moments
and the warmth
until we meet again
