When first we met at heaven’s door,
when all was boundless night...
we fell in love, by touch, before
the Lord invented light.
A lyric of the universe,
our song is sung by choice,
a syncopated line of verse
in every Angel’s voice.
I look into the eyes of time
and see myself with you,
from eons past and out of mind
to futures yet in view.
When death has come to claim his prize
when dark and light resign,
the final Angel we’ll surprise...
as your heart beats does mine.

When first we met at heaven’s door
when all was endless night...

the Lord invented light.

I look into the eyes of time
to futures in my view,
from eons past and out of mind
I see myself with you.
I look into the eyes of time
and see myself with you,
from eons past and out of mind
to futures not in view.
