Love Adore (The Starlight in your Eyes)

By Bruce Clifford

You came to me when in this life it was least expected.
It felt like we knew each other forever in time.
This universe is vast and full of cosmic wonder.
So many nights how I wished you were mine.

I love adore you.
I can see the starlight in your eyes.
I love adore you.
When my heart skips a beat, it comes as no surprise.
I can see the starlight in your eyes.

Late at night in the middle of a thousand thoughts.
You open my eyes as I hear you whisper from across the sea.
Like a passage in time as if our minds are always in sync.
I can feel your smile in the magic of every vivid dream.

I love adore you.
I can see the starlight in your eyes.
I love adore you.
When my heart skips a beat, it comes as no surprise.
I can see the starlight in your eyes.

You came to me when my heart was least receptive.
It felt so pure, as if it was the way things were meant to be.
So many years I wondered if you were truly out there.
Now I know it was your radiant smile I would always see.

I love adore you.
I can see starlight in your eyes.
I love adore you.
When my heart skips a beat, it comes as no surprise.
I can see the starlight in your eyes.

I can see the starlight in your eyes.
I can see the starlight in your eyes.
