I See You with My Heart (for Moira‪)‬ I Wrote this Song for You

Some people exude kindness, acceptance, and love, and we feel deeply seen and appreciated in their company. As her vision is fading due to a degenerative eye disease, Moira continues her important work of seeing the beauty in every person who passes her way.
I See You with My Heart is written and performed by Wells Hanley. Wells is joined by Curtis Fye on bass. Lyrics appear below.
Moira's photo for this episode was taken by Bill Westmoreland.

I See You with My Heart
Music and Lyrics by Wells Hanley ©2021
 
Don't be afraid that that I might not see you
nothing could be any more untrue
The beauty of light may have up and left me
but darling, I still see you.
Now I may not notice the clothes you wear
or the style of your hair, or your face so dear
Though you treasure the photos of the times we share
that's not important here.
These are the little things, but I see who you are
so don't be afraid, don't even start
I see you, I see you with my heart.
 
Lately you cry when little things confound me
and it lightens your load when I reach for you
Your eyes give a glow that I can feel surround me
and it tells me your love is true.
These are the things I see when you show me who you are
so don't be afraid, don't even start
I see you, I see you with my heart.
 
Every year there is a different style
a brand new coat that's gonna last just a while
a new kind of phone
that'll help you feel never all alone
I was told, and I did believe,
don't judge by the cover, that the eyes deceive,
and they do
now I know it's true
but no matter for me and you
'Cause we've found a different way
and I see you for who you are
so don't be afraid, don't even start
I see you, I see you with my heart.
I see you with my heart.
