lyrics

Through all the years
we have laughed and cried–
we will collect the tears before we die.
It is written clear upon your face–
the sheer divide between space and time.
You can’t hide the child inside–
the lines by your eyes, they don’t lie.
And though we may lose our sight,
what remains unchanged
is that ardent inner light.

There are past lives
in your laugh lines
that are revived
by your smiling eyes.
Despite the divide
between space and time,
the child inside
is quite alive.
But what I can see
and what I construe
says more about me
than it does about you.
And though we may
be deprived of our sight,
what remains unchanged
is that ardent inner light.

There are past lives
written in your laugh lines–
it’s true,
and you know it, too.

All is revived
by your smiling eyes–
it’s good,
and it’s all inside you.

You cannot hide
the child inside–
the lines by your eyes,
they do not lie.
We laugh and cry,
we live and die–
but together we ride
through low and high.

There are past lives
in your laugh lines–
it’s true,
and you know it, too.

All is revived
by your smiling eyes–
it’s good,
and it’s all inside you.
