The Sun Dances In Your Eyes

Wife, I’ll tell you about your eyes
As exquisite as marble carved on ice
Beneath the open skies
The sun dances in your eyes

Yes, the sun dances in your eyes
Beautifully and giddy as butterflies
I think I hear as it cries
The sun dances in your eyes

You’ve got the most beautiful smile
Complimenting the fire in your eyes
Stretching, making that beautiful face an artistic prize
The sun dances in your eyes

Should I tell a tale of lies
About my gray hair and the dyes
You’re the woman of my younger days
The sun dances in your eyes

Not by powers nor might
If I should roll across miles of mire
Or swim across rivers of fire,
I’ll never tire, gazing into your eyes
The sun dances in your eyes

The sun in your eyes
It attacks me like missiles
Contentedly I sigh,
The sun dances in your eyes

For me a glass scotch on the rocks
And a plate of French fries
For you two chicken pies
And a bottle of Smirnoff ice
While you get the foods and drinks
I’ll continue about your eyes on ink,
The sun dances in your eyes

Yes we are old, but very much young at heart
You are the woman after my heart
The mother of my kids and priestess of my loins
The sun dances in your eyes

You raised my sons and made us proud of each other
My daughter you taught the beauty of fires
Fires to captivate another
Woman, thou art of great styles
The sun dances in your eyes

Our kids are all grown
Married and in their own homes
It’s just the two of us again
Saying hi, never saying bye
Whilst the sun dances in your eye

I was a firefighter
A fireman fighting fires
But how do I fight these fireworks?
The sun dancing in your eyes

Through my years of firefighting
Saving lives and bodies from burning buildings
One fire I dared not fight
The fiery sun dancing in your eyes

Nigh draws the night
Here we sit in twilight
Waiting the dusk and fireflies
Yet, the sun dances in your eyes

I could talk all day about your eyes
As exquisite as marble carved from ice
Never minding time as it flies
Like ghouls beneath the open skies
But tomorrow in ambush lies
Moving towards dawn with great strides
While I sleep, I’ll dream again as other nights
The sun dancing in your eyes
