Sunlight cutting through the pine branches
Casting patterns on the dusty trail
You were walking right ahead of me
Dark brown hair tucked in your collar
Looking back with eyes like mountain springs
Past the tangled roots and river stones Stepping down into the cool
green shade (yeah)
You turned around and caught my hand
Deep blue eyes by the running creek
Laughing soft where the waters meet
Every dark strand blowing across your face
Time stands still in this hidden place (oh,
down at the water)
We skipped flat rocks
across the shallow bend
Cold mountain water rushing round our feet
You smiled at ripples that we couldn't mend
Looking up with that quiet gaze so sweet
Leaves were drifting past the mossy stone
World felt quiet, just the woods and you (hummmm)
Nothing else I'd rather do
Deep blue eyes by the running creek
Laughing soft where the waters meet
Every dark strand blowing across your face
Time stands still in this hidden place (yeah,
right here with you)
We can leave the noise of town behind
Follow where the slow ripples wind
Your eyes reflecting sky
and pine
I knew right then your hand was mine
Deep blue eyes by the running creek
Laughing soft where the waters meet
Every dark strand blowing across your face
Time stands still in this hidden place
(down by the creek)
Deep blue eyes...
Down where the waters flow (mm-mm-mm)
