Distance Between Two Eyes

There was a time we spent by the beach

watching birds go by

we'd always be in reach

like the distance between two eyes.

do you know

the time we spent

watching birds 

fly again

I would cry and I would smile

and wipe the tears 

between your two eyes

the distance between two eyes

the range of the southern skies

what lies between two isles

is what's between you and I.

the distance between two eyes

is the difference between you and I.

it's a million miles wide.

and it's only Faith that can bridge this canyon.

do you remember the time we spent

fixing the broken car light

you would hand me the tape

with an honest smile.

those days are gone...

Then we finally got married

after blood and sweat and trials

and it took 23 years to blow it all away

like the distance between two skies
