Through Your Eyes On Christmas Eve

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!
