in your eyes

Nicee. Good wedding song. ;-)
I love Ben Harper's live cover of this song. I especially love the part in the live track when the audience backs him up singing "In your eyes" in the second chorus... then he goes, "Thanks." Aww. Made me tear up. Sheesh. Music nga naman and how it brings people together. One of 'em rare moments I really live for.

by Peter Gabriel

Love
I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass
and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade
so soon will burn
Without a noise
without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway
to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution
of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes

Love
I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted
and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired
of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you
to keep me awake and alive
