I look through your eyes and see
Innocence they stole from me
Christmas lights, and candy canes
Santa tugging on reindeer's reigns
The son of god, and good will toward man
Through your eyes I believe I can

Chorus:
All the things I have out grown
Through your eyes again I'm shown
See things I lost the fight to believe
Through your eyes on Christmas eve

You've given Christmas back to me
Through the innocence of your eyes I see
Ghosts of Christmas past and present
Past the families flaws unpleasant
Past the dark and scary night
To laughter in the morning's light

I fear when you are grown and gone
And all alone I'll sing this song
No toys, or dolls or other things
When grass grows under our backyard swings
But if my child one day you bring
Your own small children, then I will sing!
