I passed you on the street today

And as your eyes met mine

I saw somethin' and it took me by surprise

For the first time in a long time

I didn't break and cry

'Cause today I finally saw me in your eyes



I've kept from goin' crazy

With this little thread of hope

Old memories have helped me to survive

In every prayer I prayed is

Help to make things come out right

'Cause today I finally saw me in your eyes



A long, long time ago

You asked me just how long I'd wait

Until Hell freezes over, I replied

The fire of love lunged through me

And I trembled like a child

'Cause today I finally saw me in your eyes



I've made believe so many times

That someone else was you

It didn't work no matter how I tried

'Cause no matter what my lips would say

My heart knew my lips lied

And today I finally saw me in your eyes



A long, long time ago

You asked me just how long I'd wait

Until Hell freezes over, I replied

The fire of love lunged through me

And I trembled like a child

'Cause today I finally saw me in your eyes

Yes, today I finally saw me in your eyes
