David9011 - When You Open Your Eyes Lyrics

Softly in the quiet night I hear your gentle breath
Dreaming of the days we laughed so far from fear of death
But shadows whispered secrets and your smile began to fade
I held you close though deep inside my heart was so afraid

I've taken for granted the warmth of your hand
Regretting the times I didn't understand
Now as you lie here so fragile so still
I promise to love you with all of my will

When you open your eyes my face will be here
The first thing you'll see will be love crystal clear
Through the pain through the night I'll never let go
You're my everything I need you to know

The sterile room is quiet but my prayers are loud
Fighting every fear though doubt wraps me like a shroud
I squeeze your hand so cold yet so brave
Your strength is the anchor my breaking heart craves

Though I've been selfish though I've been blind
Now all I can offer is my love intertwined
With every beat of my heart I'll stay near
No matter what happens I'll always be here

When you open your eyes my face will be here
The first thing you'll see will be love crystal clear
Through the pain through the night I'll never let go
You're my everything I need you to know

White walls surround me time stands still
My hands are trembling against my will
But I see your courage shining through
And all I want is to fight for you

When you open your eyes my face will be here
A beacon of love to erase all your fear
Through the trials through the strife together we'll go
You're my heartbeat my life I need you to know

Close your eyes rest tonight
Dream of mornings bathed in light
When you wake you'll see my face
Here for you in love's embrace
