The Shelter of Your Eyes

About The Shelter of Your Eyes

"The Shelter of Your Eyes" is a song written and recorded by Don Williams for his JMI Records debut album Don Williams Volume One, released in 1973. The single release would be the first commercial single released by 1970s country star Don Williams, and it would be a number twelve country chart hit. Williams was signed to Jack Clements' J-M-I Records and Jack Music, Inc in 1972 by Allen Reynolds, and Reynolds would go on to produce Williams' entire debut album. Many of Williams' best known songs would be written by other composers (including Bob McDill, Allen Reynolds and Al Turney) and this single release was notable in that it was one of the few of Williams' self-penned tunes to be a charting single. The song was also recorded by the singer Lobo for his 1975 album "Just A Singer" on Big Tree Records, which was distributed by Atlantic Records. The B-Side "Playin' Around" was re-released on several Don Williams compilation albums throughout the 2000s. more »

In the shelter of your eyes
I have finally learned the song
It took so long to realize
I just can't make it all alone

Words are only what they say
But this feeling isn't wrong
I'm so glad I found my way
It's good to be where I belong

And I'm, gonna stay, 
Right here 'cause I'm
In rhythm with your mind
Tune out the world 
And rest my head
'Neath the shelter of your eyes

Words are only what they say
But this feeling isn't wrong
I'm so glad I found my way
It's good to be where I belong

And I'm, gonna stay, 
Right here 'cause I'm
In rhythm with your mind
Tune out the world 
And rest my head
'Neath the shelter of your eyes
