Lyrics

Eyes Met Eyes
Copyright 2004 by Rebecca Rufin

Verse 1:
Another day, I'm rising from my lonely bed
I take a shower, hope the water helps to clear my head
I dread all the job hypocrisy,
The incompetent bureaucracy,
The struggle to maintain my own integrity.

Verse 2:
I make the usual morning stop at the coffee shop
You raise your head and meet my eyes, you let your newspaper drop,
The headlines are assaulting you
With war and rape and murder, who
Could ever find a meaning in a world so cruel

Chorus:
A new day is dawning and hope is shining through,
A sense of belonging when I met eyes with you,
Frustration and the futility
That once consumed my every day
Now vanished when my lonely eyes met eyes
With you.

Verse 3:
The morning rush leaves little time for conversation
Yet when we part we feel a new anticipation
For everything we left unsaid
Was spoken with our eyes instead,
Our separate paths are joined together, moving ahead.

Chorus:
A new day is dawning and hope is shining through,
A sense of belonging when I met eyes with you,
Frustration and the futility
That once consumed my every day
Now vanished when my lonely eyes met eyes
With you

With you,

Bridge:
We have the power to drive despair away,
Our love can fill the emptiness that surrounds us every day,
I know that if you take my hand,
There's nothing that we can't withstand,
Together, when my lonely eyes met eyes
With you.
