She loved me with those eyes
Large and brown staring up at me
The wisdom of the ages implied
Whether to apologize
Or merely out of curiosity
It was always with love in those eyes
Her soft gaze intensified
Watching over me carefully
The wisdom of the ages implied
Always she sympathized
Laying her head on my knee
Loving me with those eyes
Patiently she sighed
Waiting on me dutifully
The wisdom of the ages implied
Short are the days love multiplies
She spent them on loyalty, joyfully
Loving me with those eyes
The wisdom of the ages implied
