Violet Eyes

It's been awhile since you've been around
I've been drifting like a gypsy from town to town
I've been to France and Rome,
Seen Duomo's glittered dome
I've slept beneath Spanish summer skies.
But I've seen nothing as lovely
As your Violet eyes

Do you recall the shores of Greece?
The turquoise sea.
I swore I won't forget your exact smile where we went
sightseeing everything.
And everywhere I go
I see your Violet eyes.

Chorus:
Seasons come and seasons pass
Life can seem as fragile as a looking glass
I know that there is something more constant than time
For at night when I sleep, I feel you near me
I see you Violet eyes.

If I could a postcard to you
I know somehow it would get through
I'm not sure I could express,
This ache that's in my chest
I guess that I'll always miss you
And everywhere I go,
I see you violet eyes

Chorus:

It was a year ago last Christmas
we spent in Hawaii
Laughing beneath the stars,
playing in the sand and in the sea
It'll be a year coming this fourth of July
When for the last time,
you held my hand
You closed your violet eyes.

Seasons come and seasons pass
Life can seem as fragile,
Oh, as fragile as a looking glass
I know that there is something more constant than time
For at night when I sleep, I feel you near me
I hear your voice call me
I see your violet eyes
