Subject: Lyr Add: LIKE AN EAGLE LOVES THE WIND (B Walls)
Tinker, thanks to your info, I found the title and lyrics on Byron Wall's website.

Here's the song:

LIKE AN EAGLE LOVES THE WIND
(Byron Walls)

She came to me like morning to a new day.
Her kisses felt like sunshine after the rain.
She reached inside my solitude and touched me,
Took away the darkness and set my heart aflame.

CHORUS:
The earth moved in her body,
The sun rose in her eyes.
She was warmer than a small-town Georgia
Evening in July,
As beautiful a lady as I ever laid eyes on.
She came fast and just as fast was gone,
Like an eagle on the wind, she was gone.

She gave me everything except tomorrow.
She needed freedom like a wild bird needs the wind.
But in my heart I'll keep a candle burning,
Hoping Lord she sees the light and it guides her home again.

CHORUS:


That's the way the lyrics are posted on Byron Wall's website, but the Limeliters sing the chorus close to the way you posted it, Tinker:

The earth moved in her body, the sun rose in her eyes.
She was warmer than a small-town Georgia evening in July.
The sweetest taste of heaven that I'd ever laid eyes on.
She came fast and just as fast was gone.
And she loved me like an eagle loves the wind he soars upon.
