about

"My wife gave me a reason for being; Maria gave me a reason to live. Thus she became synonymous with music. Every time I thought of her, a melody would come to mind. The vision of her smiling, emerald-green eyes conjured up tunes out of nowhere and nothing. They were filled with the passion of the time when I was with her and the sadness of my life when I was not. But above all, they were filled to the brim with love."

lyrics

Green Eyes © 2018 Malcolm Duff & Maristela Da Silva

In my dreams I sometimes see your lovely face
But when I wake up no one’s lying there
It seems as if you’ve been and gone without a trace
But lingers on the perfume of your hair

Seven days and lonely nights you have been away
I never knew that time could take so long
But a girl with babe must always learn to earn her pay
And in my eyes now, you can do no wrong

Yet all the time I wondered why
I dreamt of lucky stars
Where you go, and who you really are?
But that was then; I’ve learnt to bend
My time to other rules
Now I know all of those that turn us into fools

So sail on babe, sail on out to see
Sail on honey, sail on to stay free
Dream a dream for two, just you and I
Sail on out to see with your green eyes
Sail on home to me with your green eyes

A time will come when there’s no one
Who wants what we can sell
And all the buyers tell the same old lies
But the flame of love burns on forever,
If you wish it well,
Bright as the emerald of your eyes

One full moon now sometime soon I’ll see you once again
The only one who helps me stand and fight
I’ll hold a girl who’s seen the world like a long-lost friend
And let love turn all this darkness into light

So sail on babe, sail on out to see
Sail on honey, sail on to stay free
Dream a dream for two, just you and I
Sail on out to see with your green eyes
Sail on home to me with your green eyes
