The Love in Your Eyes
Vicky Leandros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw the love in your eyes
The day I met you for the first time
And for a while
The world stopped turning
And happiness began
Just for you and me

I saw the love in your eyes
Your smile said stay awhile
And love me
I knew my lonely days
Were ending
As I stood close to you
And the time passed by

And though as yet
No words were spoken
Your eyes said everything
That I longed to hear

My life was empty
With only sadness
No one to need me
No one to care
Then like a mirror
Reflecting gladness
Your eyes said welcome
And love was there

I saw the love in your eyes
And as two strangers knelt together
I felt like being with you forever
And always see the love
That is in your eyes

I felt like being with you forever




And always see the love
That is in your eyes

Line by Line Meaning

I saw the love in your eyes
Upon first meeting you, I could recognize fondness in your gaze


The day I met you for the first time
It was on the day we first encountered one another


And for a while
During a certain length of time


The world stopped turning
It felt like the planet halted its rotation


And happiness began
And joy commenced


Just for you and me
For our exclusive enjoyment


Your smile said stay awhile
Your grin was an invitation to remain together


And love me
And show affection toward me


I knew my lonely days
I was aware that my solitary times


Were ending
Were coming to a close


As I stood close to you
As I was near you


And the time passed by
And time went on


And though as yet
Although until now


No words were spoken
We had yet to say anything


Your eyes said everything
Your eyes conveyed all that was necessary


That I longed to hear
The things I had been yearning to listen to


My life was empty
I had a feeling of emptiness in my life


With only sadness
Devoid of anything except sorrow


No one to need me
Without anyone requiring me


No one to care
No one to be concerned


Then like a mirror
Suddenly like a reflection


Reflecting gladness
Conveying contentment


Your eyes said welcome
Your eyes expressed a warm reception


And love was there
And love was present


And as two strangers knelt together
As we, two unfamiliar individuals, stood together


I felt like being with you forever
I experienced a sentiment of wanting to spend eternity with you


And always see the love
And to constantly perceive the fondness


That is in your eyes
That emanates from your gaze
