Theresa's eyes were like the sun To match her golden hair Her cheeks flushed and her breath froze In the cold helsinki air Our souls aren't always visible By the colors that we wear Carla's eyes were like a night Of mystery and ink She bore the scars of love Beneath the cover of her drink Little did she know Of love's inseparable link
And they'd never known each other Their lives went separate ways Born of different mothers Several continents away But the moment that they crossed Their souls would intertwine Never to be broken Over continents of time
Theresa knew her father As the man she never knew He left her to a music box On a dresser in her room She tried to reconcile His face with many rainy afternoons Carla knew her father For all of seven years He left her and her mother One hot summer in tangiers And with it all a box That became music to her ears
CHORUS
Carla and theresa Would meet through circumstance Bow is not important If by fate or if by chance But eyes met tears flowed And tumbled down like rain When they realized between these eyes They bore one fathers name
