I Laid My Eyes On You

Love is patient, love is kind. So the poets say.
Those were merely words to me … just another phrase.
I never saw my future in someone else’s smile
‘Til I laid my eyes on you

Now you’re the warmest blanket on the coldest winter’s night.
You’re the other side of me I never thought I’d find.
Every angel up above was smiling on the day
When I laid my eyes on you

Though it’s hard at times for me to find the words …
To paint the perfect picture of just how much you’re worth.
You should know I’ve been thinking stars and counting blessings too
Since I laid my eyes on you

And when the world wants to bring me to my knees,
I always find your hand reaching out for me.
There would be no other that I could ever love
Once I laid my eyes on you
Once I laid my eyes on you.
