 Every night I look into your blue depths
 Wondering if I could
 If I could reach out and touch out
 Thinking better I had not
 Fear of waking you scared me
 
 So I just stare at you, looking into your blue depths
 Trying to reach out
 To gain a common bond
 Something to hold on to
 When you don’t want to hold
 When you just wannta let go
 
 Let go of all your responsibilities
 And disappear
 Leaving me all alone
 Without your sparkling eyes to guide me
 Without your carefree attitude to show me home
 Cuz my home is wherever you are
 
 Aye, that’s how much I love you
 And every night
 When you lay down next to me
 All I see are your sparkling blue eyes
 The blue eyes that hold the trust of faith
 And the fear of life
 
 Those eyes of yours feed my soul;
 Looking down at you in the middle of the night
 Or in the brightness of the day
 Your blue eyes guide me
 And worn others to stay away
 
 Your blue eyes which hold so much concern
 Rarely show what you’re truly feeling
 Marked by deep secrets of the past
 You grasp onto whatever you can
 And be carefree
 As though nothing bothered you
 Yet I can see
 
 Everything you have to fight
 To just gain control over what you see
 
 And every night when I gaze into your blue depths
 All I see is a look of pure peace; solitude
 Yet as soon as you wake it’s gone
 And your mask is back
 So others you won’t let in for fear
 Fear of what they have or will do?
 
 I do not know, you have never let me inside
 All I know is that when I look into your blue depths
 I see a reflection of my soul
 I see what others cannot
 A man who needs to be cared for
 A man who needs to have a loving family; a father who cares
 
 When you let me in, and I know you will
 I promise not to reveal anything to anyone
 And to keep it between us
 For when I look into your blue eyes that sparkle, and I am lost
 So lost that a hurricane could pass and I wouldn’t notice
 
 Cuz lost in your blue depths,
 Time has no meaning
 And yourself is revealed
 Giving me a slight glimpse at the real you
 
 And I thank you for giving me a chance
 No one would ever have taken a chance like that on me
 Yet you did
 And now I wish to do something for you
 As special as what you did for me
 Yet I do not know what
 So I promise to be here for you
 And I promise not to tell anyone that one night
 Way past one,
 You revealed your true self to me
 
 I still wonder why you did that
 But I know you understand
 And so whenever I look into your sparkling blue depths,
 I will look for a way in which to make life better for us as a whole
 But, until then
 I will just look into your beautiful blue eyes
 And wonder just how much of you is a mystery to us
 Whom you do not let in
 
 And I will always look into your beautiful blue depths with a new respect
 After that night
 When you told all of your troubles
 But I will always look into your blue depths and see a child who needs help
 And will try to provide as much as I can
 And hope your eyes do not loose their sparkle
 For when your eyes sparkle, your soul shines
 And when your eyes grow dim, you have lost all but a touch of your soul
 
 And your blue depths reveal so much that no one will ever see
 Yet you have shown me
 And I will keep that fact close to my heart as nothing before
 And comfort you in the wee hours of the morning
 And kiss you late at night
 And gaze at you with love, as I have been uncapable of until now
 And so I must thank you in such a way that has not been discovered yet
 
 So I am writing this, though you may very well never see it
 It is here and that is comfort enough for me for now
 Someday I may show it to you
 But that is uncertain
 So just know that I gaze at you with the love of life and hope someday you will finally see
 That your life has not been wasted as you so stubbornly think
 And that it has been well spent
 Giving me the most precious gift anyone could have given me-the gift of trust and love
 
 So though you will not see this and though you do not know it exist
 Know that I cherish the time we share
 And that I thank you for all that you have done
 And that I will always remember you, your eyes, and us
