lovelight

Eyes showing affection

Lovelight is a warm glow in someone's eyes that reveals affection or romantic feeling: the lovelight in her eyes when she looked at him.

The word appears mostly in songs and poetry, suggesting visible evidence of love that others can perceive.

It combines the abstract emotion with something almost tangible—light radiating from a person in love.
