Ojos de Miel

[Intro – Whispered, over acoustic strums and soft vinyl crackle]
Mmm…
You looked at me like you knew every bruise in my chest…
And still wanted to kiss ’em all better.

⸻

[Verse 1 – Smooth and soulful]
Ojos de miel, you stole my air,
A Southern man caught in your stare.
Wasn’t no rush, just that slow flame,
Sayin’ “I see your past… and I’ll love you the same.”

You blinked, and I felt the tide shift,
Baby, that gaze was heaven’s gift.
Didn’t need to speak, I knew it then—
I’d chase those eyes ‘til my days end.

⸻

[Chorus – Soft falsetto, Spanish harmonies woven in]
Ojos de miel, dulces y reales,
Eyes like honey, soft and wild.
You looked through my pain, didn’t flinch a bit,
Just smiled like, “I know where you’ve been.”

Caramel fire, with grace on your brow,
You see all my cracks—and still stick around.
Ojos de miel, baby, don’t look away…
I could drown in your gaze every day.

⸻

[Verse 2 – Richer emotion, light gospel organ in background]
You’re raisin’ a girl to love herself true,
And the way you protect her—that pulled me to you.
You saw my boys, didn’t bat an eye,
Just smiled like, “Come on, let’s try.”

I ain’t perfect—just a man with dreams,
But your eyes said, “We can build new things.”
So here I am, breakin’ down my pride,
Hopin’ you’ll look my way tonight.

⸻

[Chorus – Repeat with Spanish/English blend]
Ojos de miel, dulces y reales,
Love that speaks without sayin’ nada.
A Southern heart, a Latina flame,
Burnin’ slow with no shame.

Eyes like honey, fierce and kind,
You saw me whole, not just the grind.
Ojos de miel, my mariposa queen…
You’re the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen.

⸻

[Bridge – Spoken softly, over strings and light hand percussion]
You ever been seen so deep…
you start to remember who you really are?
That’s what you did to me, mami.
With just one look…
You reminded me of everything I could be.

⸻

[Outro – Fades with humming and soft Spanish echo]
Ojos de miel…
Mi luz, mi paz…
Stay with me.
Look at me…
Forever.
