From the recording OceanSongs' "Ballads" Sampler
This song was part of my wedding vows to Kathy, my partner since the year 2000. The whole song is an extended metaphor of appreciation for her clear view of life and the world. It's arranged in a minor key which reminds us that the deeper we go with our loved ones the sadder it'll be one day to say goodbye.

WINDOW by Jim Ocean
You are my window, looking at you
Not many men know, this beautiful view
You are my window into this world
I see your wrinkles, I see the little girl
I am in love with all I see
You are the mountains, and you are the wild blue sea
I am in love, ‘cause when I look at you
I see an open sky, changing in hue
Changing in you…
You are my window, I see through your pane
I see my tomorrow inside the frame
You are my window, I see through your eyes
I see through your shadow, I see your paradise
I am in love with all I see
You bring me in the world, you live inside of me
I am in love, ‘cause when I look at you
I see an open sky, changing in hue
Changing in view…
You are my window on rainy days
Sometimes there’s a rainbow
Sometimes it just rains all day…
