In a Lover
Jim Brickman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All you see are endless skies, like an ocean lit by fireflies
With a long deep breath, I speak my heart
Saying things I'm not sure just what they are
A feeling catches me by surprise
You can see forever in a lover's eyes

I can stop myself but on I go
Finding feelings I have never known
There's hope beyond your wildest dreams
And the feeling is nothing to extreme
In a flash, tomorrow begins to rise
You can see forever in a lover's eyes

I can see your world, beautiful and new
And although I'm not sure where it's leading to
We will travel on, our fate unknown
And for once I know I'm not alone

It's a trade we make, a sacrifice
Love never ending is surely worth the price




If we survive, love holds no greater price
You can see forever in a lover's eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jim Brickman's song In A Lover's Eyes beautifully portray the depth of love and the emotions that come with it. The first two lines, "All you see are endless skies, like an ocean lit by fireflies," create a vivid picture of the limitless possibilities and wonder that one can experience in love. The next lines, "With a long deep breath, I speak my heart, saying things I'm not sure just what they are," suggest that the singer is baring their soul to their beloved, unsure of the full extent of their emotions.


The following lines express the overwhelming feeling of being in love, "Finding feelings I have never known, there's hope beyond your wildest dreams, and the feeling is nothing too extreme," suggesting that love can take you to new and unexpected heights. The line, "You can see forever in a lover's eyes," is repeated throughout the song and signifies the idea that love is timeless and never-ending.


The last two stanzas depict the idea that being in love is a journey with an unknown destination, but it's worth taking the risk because the reward is priceless. "It's a trade we make, a sacrifice. Love never-ending is surely worth the price. If we survive, love holds no greater price. You can see forever in a lover's eyes." Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that love is a journey worth taking, even with uncertainties, because the reward is an unending love that can be seen in a lover's eyes.
