My grandparents are gone now, but I still think of them every time I hear “In My Eyes.” It’s a beautiful song that reminds me of the power of love.

Lyric
She’s just a woman
A hundred pounds of flesh and blood
Quick with a smile and soft with a touch for me
She’s just a womanv
Not the least or the most desired
But she sets one man’s heart on fire
And it’s me that she wants to please.
And in my eyes
God never made a more beautiful girl
In my eyes
There’s no one more lovely in all of the world
And she looks at me at times with such surprise
When she sees how special she is in my eyes.
She’s only human
And she cries sometimes when she looks in the mirror
And counts a new line that seemed to appear overnight
She’s only human
It’s not that she’s vain, she’s just afraid
That there’ll come a time when I’ll turn away at the sight
But I swear that’s not right.
And in my eyes
She just grows lovelier to me
And in my eyes
She’s only aging gracefully
And a thousand strands of gray won’t disguise
The woman she’ll always be in my eyes.
She’s just a woman
Giving her love to only me
Without her help I would be less of a man
Than she thinks I am.
And in my eyes
Love never changes or pretends
In my eyes
Her mystery never ends
And everything I feel as years go by
Makes her love grow sweeter still in my eyes
In my eyes…
