(Richard Carpenter / P. Phillips Oland)

 

There was a certain face

That filled a thousand nights

With all the sweetest dreams

And promises of paradise

But that face was gone

When the dawn would come and steal you

Yet, I still could feel you

Waiting just a kiss away

I'd surely know your face

Your love would cast a spell

I'd recognise each curve and line of you,

I knew it well

Now at last you're here and I can tell

 

Something in your eyes I see

Is all I ever wanted

And something in your smile for me

Is calling out my name

Your eyes, it seems

Are mirrors of my dreams

In ways I can't explain.

And my heart will never be the same

 

We never said a word

As if we'd always known

But through the bittersweet of waiting

We were not alone

Now we're close enough

For the touch of love to find us

Fantasies designed us

But they never really could

Begin to measure you

No pictures ever do

And as I watch you framed in sunlight

In a sky of blue

I know what my life's been leading to

 

Something in your eyes I see

Is all I ever wanted

And something in your smile for me

Is calling out my name

Your eyes, it seems

Are mirrors of my dreams

In ways I can't explain.

And my heart will never be the same

 

Something in your eyes I see

Is all I've ever wanted

And something in your smile for me

Is calling out my name

Your eyes, it seems

Are mirrors of my dreams

In ways I can't explain.

And my heart will never be the same

And my heart will never be the same

 

Something in your eyes
