Open your eyes


I close my eyes and listen to your heart beat 

slowly I stand on my feet 

embrace your little hand in mine

Tell you my darling everything will be fine 

kiss you on your little forehead 

then i kneel beside your bed 

I fold my hands and close my eyes 

and hope to God he hears my cries 

Please let her eyes shine bright 

on this fall stormy night 

I open my eyes and swear you smiled
