Lyrics & Music: Rolf Løvland / Stephen Tavani
Elisabeth:
I knew this time would come
when I would meet someone
that would invade my heart
and tear my carefully laid out life apart.
I had no room for love,
that's not what I dreamed of.
So I built walls so high
that they filled up my emotional sky.
Both:
Chorus;
oh... When I see your eyes
oh... I feel so torn inside.
When I see your eyes
all my walls come crashing down.
When I see your eyes
I know your love is around.
When I see your eyes
my fear is lost inside your gaze.
Now I realize
love is what I see in your eyes.
Hanne:
Like a moth to the flame
I'm drawn to you just the same.
But will I burn in the fire
or will this be more than desire?
Commitment strips away
the shell in which I've stayed.
I'm scared of a mistake
but I don't know the choice to make.
Both:
Chorus;
oh... When I see your eyes
oh... I feel so torn inside.
When I see your eyes
my fear is lost inside your gaze.
Now I realize
love is what I see in your eyes.
When I see your eyes
my fear is lost inside your gaze.
Now I realize
love is what I see in your eyes.
Chorus;
oh... When I see your eyes
oh... I feel so torn inside.
When I see your eyes
my fear is lost inside your gaze.
Now I realize
love is what I see in your eyes.
oh... I know were I want to be
oh... so please keep looking at me.
