As I Looked Into Your Eyes
As I looked into your eyes I saw my future go up in flames
I saw the road before me burning instantly away
And I was terrified that I would drop
Far below and never find again the path which I had found
As I looked into your eyes I saw my future go up in flames
I thought you knew that this was not the time for games
I wished that I could know for certain what lies beyond that curtained smile
Is it worthwhile?
As I looked into your eyes I saw my future go up in flames
I stood still on the path which had long been burned away
But left behind were but a myriad of stars
Shining brightly as they lead me into your arms.
