This song was inspired by the beautiful face of a friend, a face that delighted in and reflected the wonderful things in life. The sun was setting, and we were at the zoo watching the snow leopards sitting majestically atop a rock on their hillside.
Night settles in, setting sun on the hill
Snow leopard jumps from a shadow so still
Poetry falls as I look toward your face
Smile spreading magic, embracing this place
With a glow of love in your eyes for the world
That shining love in your eyes
Is it some kind of bright golden ray of the sun
Reflects off the waves of a crystal ocean
Or some singing dolphin of whale jumping high
C aptures the sea, captures the sky
Or is it love in your eyes for the world
That laughing love in your eyes
Why would it be in the back of a dream
Colorful bird whistles colorful scene
Tall meadow grass reaching up to the sun
Nourish my heart, fill everyone
With the love in your eyes for the world
Everyone, with that love in your eyes
Is it some kind of dew drop held soft by a rose
The essence of morning in a delicate pose
Tingle of joy, celebration of life
One precious drop radiates brightly
Or is it love in your eyes for the world
That dancing love in your eyes
New constellation fills the night sky
M ysteries of old glittering high
Snow leopard jumps from a star to his place
Shadow so still, smile on your face
It's just the love in your eyes for the world
That shining love in your eyes
When you smile, so smile
