Lyrics
I know stone and I know gold
Were the words I heard you whisper
But eyes can see from near and far
And you never know how far you are
So judge it fair when you use those steel blue eyes
We met that time the storm winds blew
Like torn leaves we swirled ‘round and ‘round
We parried and thrust, blocked those telling blows
Protected hard that tender spot
That you feared the worst shone within those steel blue eyes
Close your eyes to the world of dust and clay
And pierce the veils that hide this brilliant day
We’ve got a choice, but that choice is hard
Were the words I heard you cry
To love or not were your thoughts that day
But the world’s not so black and white
The love is sweet shining from those steel blue eyes
Close your eyes to the world of dust and clay
And pierce the veils that hide this brilliant day
