Like lovers do

When you are in love with life
you see the world
through the eyes of a lover
Seeing with loving eyes
means noticing the beauty in everything
marvelling at the magic in every moment
and looking for the love in everyone. (from "Secrets about life every woman should know"- Barabara De Angelis.

As for the song, Like Lovers do- most people would interpret it to mean being in a happy, loved up mood because you're in love with someone. I know that's what I thought of it up until reading Barbara's book.

But just listen to this first line:

"There is a paradise that can be found, a better life to bring us round and all we really need to do is see the world like lovers do."

That goes so beyond just 'being in love' because you've found the love of your life. It truly means being in love with life- finding your own paradise- all you have to do is see the world in that 'loved up way' like a person does when they do first fall in love- and everything seems exciting and wonderful and comes to life. If we can sustain that feeling we can fall in love every day- in love with life itself- and find paradise and live a better life- seeing the world through loving eyes like lovers do.

Isn't that beautiful? Makes the song take on a whole new, spiritual significance for me now! :-)
