Smiling Eyes

There are photos that sit on my piano
Smiling faces looking back at me
Fresh faces, children playing
A bride and her young man

There are memories sitting on my piano
How little did we know
Five children would surround us
And these faces change and grow

I see smiling eyes, sweet brown eyes
Loving eyes, your crying eyes
A young bride's eyes, my lover's eyes
How I love your smiling eyes

There are photos resting on my bookshelf
Between the Bibles and the books
Little baby, little bonnet
A mother and her smile

There are memories resting on this piano
So many songs, so many tunes
But these eyes are ever watching
Smiling eyes look back at me

I see smiling eyes, sweet brown eyes
Loving eyes, your crying eyes
A young bride's eyes, my lover's eyes
A mother's eyes, these smiling eyes

I see smiling eyes, a young girl's eyes
A woman's eyes, your deep dark eyes
These smiling eyes are the only eyes
How I love your smiling eyes

Photos on the wall
Memories on the wall
Friends and places, songs and faces
Photos on the wall

Photos on the wall
One face above them all
Quietly watching behind the scenes
Quetly watching these smiling eyes

Smiling eyes, sweet brown eyes
Loving eyes, your crying eyes
A young bride's eyes, my lover's eyes

I see smiling eyes, sweet brown eyes
Loving eyes, your crying eyes
A young bride's eyes, my lover's eyes
A mother's eyes, these smiling eyes

I see smiling eyes, a young girl's eyes
A woman's eyes, these deep dark eyes
These smiling eyes are the only eyes
How I love your smiling eyes

Smiling eyes look back at me

Sweet young faces, eyes are blue
Little faces looking too
(Smiling eyes)

Little girl, eyes are brown
Always smiling, never frowns
(Smiling eyes)
