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
