Analysis of A Woman's Eyes



I've seen the mountains tall and fair
 Their snowcapped peaks so white
 I've traveled over oceans wide
 To watch horizon's light

I've scanned the canyons rivers too
 I've watched the mustangs run
 Beholding nature at its best
 The lovely sky and sun

But in this world so beautiful
 The finest sweet surprise
 Is when I softly gaze into
 A lovely woman's eyes
