Happy Birthday!


love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

  1. Oh my goodness, you are SO romantic! I just cranked the volume up and sang along at the top of my lungs. (Hope the neighbors don't call the cops.)

    This year is the 20th anniversary of the release of Say Anything and you've been married 20 years. Coincidence that this song was used?

    I hope SWMBO had a fantastic birthday.

  2. You're very kind, PCN. And that is something I didn't realize about Say Anything (perhaps we need to break that movie out for this weekend). The kids and I hopefully did it right with flowers, breakfast in bed & dinner out, and the like. SWMBO seemed to enjoy it. Thanks.

  5. Men are the true romantics - Cary Grant said it in "Indiscreet,' and I believe him.

    All the best to you both. Tho' it looks like you already have it.

  6. Corey, you have the uncanny knack of quoting movies that have that special pull. Good one. And it's funny that last weekend you happened to mention her birthday right before it happened (and she got a kick out of that video). Thanks for your very kind sentiments.
