Story Behind The Song
I was watching "The Voice" one night when Celo said something like, "watching you sing allows me to 'dream with my eyes open'." That was enough to work with, apparently. Hope you like it.

Lyrics
Dreaming With My Eyes
© 2014/Hank Thomas all rights reserved
Now I know that I'm not dreaming, cause my eyes are still wide open
But I believe I'm seeing heaven walking by
Even in my deepest slumber, I have never had a vision
That can match the simple beauty of your smile
I'm Dreaming with my eyes, Wide open
I'm Dreaming with my eyes, Oh, Oh
I'm Dreaming with my eyes, Wide open
I'm Dreaming with my eyes
If I saw a thousand suns reflecting on a hundred rivers
Not a one would match the sparkle in your eyes
I could sail the seven seas and I would never cross an ocean
As wide and deep as what I feel inside
Chorus
Bridge
I see a love that turns the pages on a journey for the ages
And I'm happy just to be here for the ride (OR)
It's enough to light the world for all my life
I'm Dreaming with my eyes, Wide open
I'm Dreaming with my eyes, Oh, Oh
I'm Dreaming with my eyes, Wide open
I'm Dreaming with my eyes
If I fell into a burning flame and turned myself to cinders
It wouldn't match the fiery passion of your kiss
Make a blanket of the stars and wrap you up in all it's splendor
It would pale beside the beauty that is yours
I'm Dreaming with my eyes, Wide open
I'm Dreaming with my eyes, Wide open
I'm Dreaming with my eyes
