It's been awhile since you've been around
Been drifting like a gypsy from town to town
I've been to France and Rome
Seen Duomo's glittered domes
I've laid beneath Spanish summer skies
I've seen nothing so lovely as your violet eyes
Do you recall the turquoise sea?
On the isles off the shores of Greece
I've sworn I won't forget
Your exact smile where we went
I see you in everything
And everywhere I go,
I see your violet eyes
Seasons come and seasons pass
Time is fragile like a looking glass
Oh, I know there must be something more constant than time
Cause everywhere I go,
I see your violet eyes
If I could write a postcard to you
And know that somehow it would get through
I'm not sure I could express
This aching in my chest
I guess I'll always miss you
And everywhere I go,
I'll see your violet eyes
Seasons come and seasons pass
Time is fragile like a looking glass
Oh, I know there must be something more constant than time
Cause everywhere I go,
I see your violet eyes
It was a year ago last Christmas
We spent in Hawaii
We were playing in the sand not snow
We were laughing in the sea
And it'll be a year coming this 4th of July
When I held your hand
And for the last time,
You closed your violet eyes
Seasons come and seasons pass
Time is so fragile
It's fragile as a looking glass
And I know there must be something more constant than time
Cause at night when I sleep
I feel you all around me
I feel your eyes upon me
I see your violet eyes
