"You Can Have Heaven On Earth" lyrics

"You Can Have Heaven On Earth"

The leaves must know and the water sees
A speckle light dance across her porcelain cheek
Shouldn't be, shouldn't be reserved for me
Just look at those eyes of hers
As she cocks her head to watch the birds
The word: nobility
Isn't she? Isn't she true to me?

Saved a green rock from the river
Do what I can to remember a day like this
Tie a scrap of moss around our wrists
Try as we must to touch what surrounds us
All of us thinking
What we can't photograph, we can sing
And we witness
We witness a splendid thing

To be happily known
Happily if only known by you
Don't turn away, don't turn away as I'm bowing to you
Look at my face, I bow to you

And you can have heaven on Earth
You can have heaven on Earth, heaven on Earth
Did it feel like for the first time being seen?
It was more like being heard without speaking
Don't turn away, don't turn away as I bow to you
Look at my face, look at my face
Look at my face as I bow to you
I bow to you, I bow to you
I bow to you, I bow to you
I bow to you, bow, I bow, I bow to you
