In times of hell, in times of sun, you journeyed with me, my precious one
Far stretched the road I found you on. We walked together arm in arm
Oh, shiny eyes, bright as the sun. You were my treasure, my dearest one
Oh, shiny eyes, right where you stand. You were my own, I was your man
Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise, you're still my one
Now lives are shaken, hearts are changed. You touched them all, you knew their names
You helped the weak, the poor, the meek. And selfish treasure, you didn't seek
Oh, shiny eyes, bright as the sun. You were my treasure, my dearest one
Oh, shiny eyes, right where you stand. You were my own, I was your man
Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise, you're still my one
And alas, my dear, I miss you. These thousand miles they burn through my soul. Hold on
My dear, just one more day. Your haggard boy is comin' back home... is comin' back home
And now in d**h, I bid farewell. A song to sing, your story I'll tell
But I can't bear to see you, dear. Your shiny eyes no longer here
Oh, shiny eyes, bright as the stars. Now lay in d**h's eternal arms
Oh, shiny eyes, stare back through me. Now resting at your father's feet
Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise... oh, shiny eyes, you're still my one
Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise, you're still my one
