“In My Eyes” is a special song to me because it reminds me of my grandparents. They were married for over 50 years and they loved each other very much. My grandfather used to sing this song to my grandmother all the time. It was their special song.

Lyric

She’s just a womanA hundred pounds of flesh and bloodQuick with a smile and soft with a touch for meShe’s just a womanvNot the least or the most desiredBut she sets one man’s heart on fireAnd it’s me that she wants to please.
And in my eyesGod never made a more beautiful girlIn my eyesThere’s no one more lovely in all of the worldAnd she looks at me at times with such surpriseWhen she sees how special she is in my eyes.
She’s only humanAnd she cries sometimes when she looks in the mirrorAnd counts a new line that seemed to appear overnightShe’s only humanIt’s not that she’s vain, she’s just afraidThat there’ll come a time when I’ll turn away at the sightBut I swear that’s not right.
And in my eyesShe just grows lovelier to meAnd in my eyesShe’s only aging gracefullyAnd a thousand strands of gray won’t disguiseThe woman she’ll always be in my eyes.
She’s just a womanGiving her love to only meWithout her help I would be less of a manThan she thinks I am.
And in my eyesLove never changes or pretendsIn my eyesHer mystery never endsAnd everything I feel as years go byMakes her love grow sweeter still in my eyesIn my eyes…
