Lyrics: Christa Wells
Music: Christa Wells
There's a man in my distant memory
His hands on piano keys
He played for us every Sunday
In our church in West Germany
I don't know much about him but his name was Paul
And you stopped him one day and told him you saw him
And you loved him
You couldn't have known that one moment of time
And three whispered words could save a man's life
How did you know
Don't you know
You have beautiful seeing eyes
You have been a palace of light
And those you love are brought to life
Saved by those beautiful seeing eyes
Well, you never thought you were gifted
So you gave your heart away
To pour welcome on outsiders
Like an early summer rain
And when life hands you roses, you hand them back out
You're drawn to the need more than money or power
And you don't know
How rare it is
You have beautiful seeing eyes
You have been a palace of light
And those you love are brought to life
Saved by those beautiful seeing eyes
You wonder if you've been enough
You worry we don't feel your love
But I am alive because of you
You have beautiful seeing eyes
You have been a palace of light
And those you love are brought to life
Saved by those beautiful seeing eyes
Safe in those beautiful seeing eyes
