There's a simple kind of truth that comes with never
And there's a certain kind of stain that comes with forever
But I can hold your hand, and you take mine
And we can walk on through to the other side, of our lives
Forever's such a short time

Chorus:
When I can see my destiny in your russet eyes
And I can hear a symphony in your autumn sighs
And I can sing you a song that'll make you cry, yet smile inside
And we can hold on to each other's hearts till we die
And angels close our eyes

There's a secret kind of hope you hold that you won't say
There's something special about a mystery told in this quiet way
But when I hear you laugh I feel the hope of angels
The gates of Heaven are open to strangers tonight
Shining like starlight

(Chorus)
Russet eyes
Autumn sighs

(Chorus)
