For Your Eyes Only
Sheena Easton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For your eyes only, I never need to hide
You can see so much in me, so much in me that's new
I never felt until I looked at you
For your eyes only, only for you
You'll see what no one else can see, and now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only, only for you
The love I know you need in me, the fantasy you've freed in me
Only for you, only for you
For your eyes only, the nights are never cold
You really know me, that's all I need to know
Maybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine
But you won't need to read between the lines
For your eyes only, only for you
You see what no one else can see, and now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only, only for you
The passions that collide in me, the wild abandoned side of me
Only for you, for your eyes only

on A Dream Worth Keeping
You can think of me and I'll be with you in your mind anytime.
I am always with you in your dreams and imagination, and that's how you can keep me forever.
This moment we have shared is so precious that you can cherish it even for your entire lifetime to come.
You don't have to worry about losing me, I will always be close to you.
This bond we share is so special and valuable that it's worth holding onto forever as a dream come true.
If you ever feel lost, think of me as a guiding star that will always show you the way.
You can always reach out to me and connect with me, no matter where you are in the world.
Many precious things in this world come and go too quickly, but our bond is one that will last a lifetime.
If you always remember me as your guiding star, you will never lose sight of our special bond.
Our relationship is so special that it's worth holding onto as a lifelong dream come true.
This is not just a passing moment, but a bond that will last for much longer than just one day.
Despite any changes that life may bring, our bond is strong enough to withstand them.
No matter what, our relationship is always worth holding onto and treasuring.
It's up to us to keep our bond strong and not let it fade away over time.
Even if we are far apart physically, our bond will never be broken.
If you ever feel lonely, remember that I am always with you in spirit.
Whenever you see a rainbow, remember that it's a symbol of hope and a reminder of our special bond.
Even in the midst of sadness or difficulty, remember that there is beauty and hope in the world.
No matter what challenges we face, we will always find a way back to each other.
There may be times when you feel discouraged or disheartened.
You may feel like life has gone too quickly and you haven't achieved what you wanted to.
Your mood may be low and you may be struggling to find hope or joy.
You may feel like you are running out of hope or optimism.
Despite any challenges or setbacks, our relationship is still valuable and worth holding onto.
As long as we continue to nurture our bond, it will stay strong and meaningful.
Even in times of darkness or despair, our bond will never disappear.
We must always work to keep our relationship strong and know that the dream will never fade away.

on A Dream Worth Keeping
Anytime you want to be right here
Just imagine me and all this will appear
You can keep this moment all your life
Forever near
A dream worth keeping
When your feeling lost I'll be your star
Just reach out and touch me no matter where you are
In a world where precious things are disappearing over night
Just keep my star in sight
[Chorus]
I believe we found a dream that's worth keeping
For more than just a day
And even though the winds of change may come sweeping
It's still a dream worth keeping
So don't let it fade away
Maybe you'll be in some distant land
Feelin' all alone, but I'll be close at hand
And every time you see a rainbow
Paint the sky behind the rain
You'll be here again
[Chorus]
I believe we found a dream that's worth keeping
For more than just a day
And even though the winds of change may come sweeping
It's still a dream worth keeping
[Chorus]
Some day you might be thinking
Life has passed you by
Spirits might be sinking
Hope in short supply
And that's the reason why
That's the reason why
I know this dream's worth keeping
As long as it will stay
Even when you see the darkness come creepin'
A dream worth keeping
Will never fade away
