Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These eyes long to make you a perfect work of art
Fall in love with me only then you'll see
What these eyes have been planning for you
You lift my heart when I fly, good morning, good night
It's a brave new world dawning, a lover's fantasy
Look into my eyes, fall in love with me
And we'll both watch the sun kiss the sea
Fall in love with he, cross the golden sand
There's a road winding up into sun rays
There's a staircase winding down
Think of all the heavens that you've found
May our love be so bright and so true
May our love be so brave and so true
