Honey, you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I come here to talk
I hope you understand
The green eyes
Yeah, the spotlight
Shines upon you
And how could
Anybody deny you?
I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter now I met you
And honey, you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes
Honey, you are the sea
Upon which I float
And I came here to talk
I think, you should know
That green eyes
You're the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who tried
To deny you must be out of their minds
Because I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter since I met you
And honey, you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes
Green eyes
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Honey, you are a rock
Upon which I stand
