Original lyrics

EN
Every single time It becomes too much There's nothing I can say Or I can touch But the glory is, as it comes passing through, I know I will be there When green eyes turn blue It's the same for me Time appears to teach There is nothing quite beyond our reach Wits may sharpen up Their cuts and clever flays Let them squander all of them You brighten up my darkest gaze And as a consequence I can see out of the gloom That I gathered about myself That I thought would flatter me What the hell was the matter with me Every single time I approached despair I thought of your name and you were there I won't burden you As promises will do But I know I will be there When green eyes turn blue.
