Lyrics
His Eyes
By Gary Skankey
For him the war was over
He's the only survivor
Ambush brought down the other guys
(When the) bandages came off him
It completely shocked him
The only part of his face he could recognize
Was...
His eyes that winced when he thought about his girl
That closed afraid that she would leave his world
That cried worried 'bout what she would think
About the changes that happened in a blink
Of his eyes, his eyes
Flyin' out of Stuttgart
Then came the hard part
He wrung his hands as he thought of goin' home
Will she want to be his
Will he ever be kissed
With his twisted frame of broken bones
And...
He stepped off the plane and saw yellow ribbons everywhere
His lover ran and kissed him as though she didn't care
That her lips pressed against his hardened scars
When she looked into his face she could see his heart
Could see right into his heart
Through...
His eyes that were like a window into his soul
That blurred with emotion he could not control
That cried that he loved her more than every thing
And she knew it was true in a blink
Of his eyes, his eyes
Of his eyes, his eyes
