Andrea Burns Through the Eyes of Grace lyrics

Grace and John are in their morning places
He looks at the paper, she looks straight ahead
Neither one is hungry but they need to be fed

Yesterday the kids came by to see them
Celebrating thirty years of holding on
Lift a loving cup for couple number one

Look across the table, Johnny
Look across the table to me
There's still a young girl in the old girl's face
Look across the table, honey
So the day begins through the eyes of Grace

Late at night when she can hear him sleeping
Reaching in the darkness for a dream or two
What she doesn't know is that he is dreaming too

Something in the mirror will remind her
Something 'bout the moonlight shining on the bed
Women don't get older, just a deeper shade of red

Look across the table, Johnny

Look across the table to me
There's still a young girl in the old girl's face
Look across the table, honey
So the day begins through the eyes of Grace

Tell me what to do, Johnny
Tell me what to do with all this freedom
Tell me what to do, honey
Tell me what to do with all my dreamin'

Just to catch his eye when she's not looking
Just to be surprised by such an old embrace
Just to feel your life seeing through the eyes of Grace

Look across the table, Johnny
Look across the table to me
There's still a young girl in the old girl's face
It's more than just a memory
So the day begins through the eyes of Grace
