Compline Lyrics

For the light around her face
At the moment when she sees me
For the way that the music fills me
anytime she’s near
For the smile that can brake me
When I’ve given up on bridges
I will thank you every evening
As I close my eyes
For the honey amber eyes
That sees through all my pretensions
Calling me back to myself
Without leaving me in shame
For the strong and graceful hands
With their own quite language
I will praise you every evening
As I close my eyes

For the words spoken plainly
Open as the fields of Illinois for wisdom
And for laughter like a soft and playful breeze
For the curve of her neck
As she bows her head in silence
I’ll be grateful every evening
As I close my eyes
For the way that she trust me
Knowing for well all my failures
For the power in her forgiveness
Like a gift straight from your heart
For the way she reveals you
With a love that long indorse
I’ll thank you every moment
Till I close my eyes
I will thank you every moment
Till I close my eyes
