In My Eyes

John Conlee

She’s just a woman 
A hundred pounds of flesh and blood 
Quick with a smile warm with a touch for me 
She’s just a woman 
And not the least or the most desired 
But she sets one man’s heart on fire 
And it’s me that she wants to please. 

And in my eyes 
God never made a more beautiful girl 
In my eyes 
There’s no one more lovely in all of the world 
And she looks at me at times with such surprise 
When she sees how special she is in my eyes. 

She’s only human 
And she cries sometimes when she looks in the mirror 
And counts a new line that seemed to appear overnight 
She’s only human 
It’s not that she’s vain, she’s just afraid 
That there’ll come a time when I’ll turn away at the sight 
But I swear that’s not right. 

And in my eyes 
She just grows lovelier to me 
And in my eyes 
She’s only aging gracefully 
And a thousand strands of gray won’t disguise 
The woman she’ll always be in my eyes. 

Sometimes she makes mistakes 
But I'm aware of her faults 
Her moods go up and down 
She’s just a woman 
Giving her love to only me 
Without her help I would be less of a man 
Than she thinks I am. 

And in my eyes 
Love never changes or pretends 
In my eyes 
Her mystery never ends 
And everything I feel as years go by 
Makes her love grow sweeter still in my eyes 
In my eyes...
