Open your eyes, my love and share
Your joy with all the world, and know
One thing above all else: I care
For you so much it makes me glow
And keeps your smile forever in my eyes.

Open your eyes, my love, in bliss,
And greet the new day with a prayer.
For though I cannot wake you with a kiss,
My love for you is always there
No matter if you sleep or if you rise.

Open your eyes, my love, and smile,
And know that even though we are apart
And distant from each other for a while,
The love I hold for you within my heart
Makes happy even our goodbyes.
