Lyrics
Helen’s Eyes
©Andy May (Swift River Music/BMI)
Every day I see myself through Helen’s eyes
Standing in a photograph by the meadow side
The river of life goes flowing by, there’s an eagle nest up the hill
There’s ancient wisdom in the air, a cup is being filled
And I smile as I see myself through Helen’s eyes
Every day I see my world through Helen’s eyes
And every day I look up in wonder and surprise
As I see the beginning of the life that I now live
The loosing and the winning, the take and the give
And I smile as I see myself through Helen’s eyes
Every day I see myself through Helen’s eyes
And every day I give thanks for the earth and for the skies
For the people and for the mystery, for the work and for the rest
For the love and the shared history, for the chance to do our best
And I smile as I see myself through Helen’s eyes
Every day I see myself through Helen’s eyes
Standing in a photograph by the meadow side
The river of life goes flowing by, there’s an eagle nest up the hill
There’s ancient wisdom in the air, a cup is being filled
And I smile as I see myself through Helen’s eyes
I smile as I see myself through Helen’s eyes
