My Eyes Can Only See As Far As You
My eyes can only see as far as you
I stop searching all the faces in the crowd
I don't ever want to find somebody new
I'm content with loneliness if you're not in my arms
For my eyes can only see as far as you
My heart is set on loving you forever

And your love is strong enough to see me through
It'll keep me holding on to you forever
Cause my eyes can only see as far as you
It'll keep me holding on to you forever
Cause my eyes can only see as far as you
Yes, my eyes can only see as far as you
