Lyrics:

In times of hell, in times of sun, you journeyed with me, my precious one
Far stretched the road I found you on. We walked together arm in arm

Oh, shiny eyes, bright as the sun. You were my treasure, my dearest one
Oh, shiny eyes, right where you stand. You were my own, I was your man
Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise, you’re still my one

Now lives are shaken, hearts are changed. You touched them all, you knew their names
You helped the weak, the poor, the meek. And selfish treasure, you didn’t seek

Oh, shiny eyes, bright as the sun. You were my treasure, my dearest one
Oh, shiny eyes, right where you stand. You were my own, I was your man
Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise, you’re still my one

And alas, my dear, I miss you. These thousand miles they burn through my soul. Hold on
My dear, just one more day. Your haggard boy is comin’ back home... is comin’ back home

And now in death, I bid farewell. A song to sing, your story I’ll tell
But I can’t bear to see you, dear. Your shiny eyes no longer here

Oh, shiny eyes, bright as the stars. Now lay in death’s eternal arms
Oh, shiny eyes, stare back through me. Now resting at your father’s feet
Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise... oh, shiny eyes, you’re still my one
Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise, you’re still my one
