Story Behind The Song
The simplicity of staring into each others eyes and seeing forever.
Song Description
"Oh I long for the touch of your hand in mine.
Yes I've been waiting for you.
Yes I can wait just a little longer.
Now that I'm facing the truth.
It's a staring contest between your heart and mine...
I can move past things.
I can learn language that no one else will learn for you.
If there are secrets at all,
They will be small enough to evaporate
like tiny evening tears.
You open your baby eyes.
Watching the moon rise
From the window of our bedroom.
Another day with you.
It's a staring contest, between your heart and mine.
It's a staring contest, between your heart and mine.
Oh I long for the touch of your hand in mine."

STARING CONTEST
Written by Reid Jamieson
Oh I long for the touch of your hand in mine.
Oh I long for the touch of your hand in mine.
Yes I've been waiting for you.
Yes I can wait just a little longer.
Now that I'm facing the truth.
It's a staring contest between your heart and mine...
I can move past things.
I can learn language that no one else will learn for you.
If there are secrets at all,
They will be small enough to evaporate
like tiny evening tears.
You open your baby eyes.
Watching the moon rise
From the window of our bedroom.
Another day with you.
It's a staring contest, between your heart and mine.
It's a staring contest, between your heart and mine.
Oh I long for the touch of your hand in mine.
