“Till I had you I didn't know that I was missing out. Had to grow up and see the world through different shades of doubt. Give me one more chance to dream again. One more chance to feel again through your young heart. If only for one day let me try. I wanna see Christmas through your eyes. I want everything to be the way it used to be. Back to being a child again, thinking the world was mine... I see the rain, you see the rainbow hiding in the clouds. Never afraid to let your love show. Won't you show me how. Wanna learn how to believe again. Find the innocence in me again, through your young heart. Help me find a way, help me try. I wanna see Christmas through your eyes. I want everything to be the way it used to be. Back to being a child again, thinking the world was kind. I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes.”

All Heaven unfolds, the opposites combine.
Your eyes become temple domes for the Pleides
Crystalline mandalas inhabited by Deities.
Blessing every moment you see
As glimpses of eternity.”

In this life
Let me feel the lack
A glance from your eyes
Then my life
Will be yours”

The wind-borne mirroring soul,
A thousand glimpses wins,
And never sees a whole.”
