                      For Colleen, with all my love

A                      Asus2     A  D               A
She was sitting in the coffeehouse, seventeen years old;
Esus4                           D                   Esus4
Grey eyes like the morning sky, lit with streaks of gold;
  D             Dsus2   G                  Em
I had no way of knowing where it all would end
       Asus2                             D                Esus4
When I looked into those sunlit eyes and knew I'd found a friend.

    D         Dsus2        G^*            D
    Eyes like the morning, smile like the sun,
    G              D                   Dsus2           Em
    Voice like the forest glades where rippling waters run;
    D            Dsus2      G               Em
    Love soft as starlight, deeper than the sea,
         Asus2         Asus4A  Asus2  A  D    EmAsus2Dsus2D
    When eyes like the morning look   at me.  

A              Asus2 A D               A
Fifty years together   doesn't seem so long:
Esus4                    D                  Esus4
Days of rain and roses; laughter, love, and song;
D           Dsus2      G               Em
Mystery and moonlight; mornings when I rise
    Asus2                         D              Esus4
And see myself reflected with the sunrise in her eyes.

    D         Dsus2        G^*            D
    Eyes like the morning, smile like the sun,
    G              D                   Dsus2           Em
    Voice like the forest glades where rippling waters run;
    D            Dsus2      G               Em
    Love soft as starlight, deeper than the sea,
         Asus2         Asus4A  Asus2  A  D    EmAsus2Dsus2D
    When eyes like the morning look   at me.  

    Instrumental bridge -- verse + chorus

A                      Asus2   A      D                A
Listen! the stars are calling, with a wild and distant sound,
Esus4                           D                   Esus4
And there's no way to answer when you're stuck down on the ground,
       D               Dsus2         G               Em
But I see our children gazing at the deep and starry skies,
Asus2                              D              Esus4
Looking past the darkness, with tomorrow in their eyes.

    D         Dsus2        G^*            D
    Eyes like the morning, smile like the sun,
    G              D                   Dsus2           Em
    Voice like the forest glades where rippling waters run;
    D            Dsus2      G               Em
    Love soft as starlight, deeper than the sea,
         Asus2         Asus4A  Asus2  A  D    EmAsus2Dsus2D
    When eyes like the morning look   at me.

A Valentine's Day present for my wife, written when we only had one
child and their eyes weren't as green as they are now.
