Light In Your Eyes

I can't remember the last time that we kissed goodbye

All our "I love you"s were just not enough to survive

Something your eyes never told me

But it's only now too plain to see

Brilliant disguise when you hold me

And I'm free

I've been thinking and here's what I've come to conclude

Sometimes the distance is more than two people can use

But how could I have known, girl?

It was time and not space you would need

Darling tonight I could hold you and you would know

But would you believe?

There's a light in your eyes that I used to see

There's a place in your heart where I used to be

Was I wrong to assume that you were waiting for me

There's a light in your eyes?

Did you leave that light burning for me?

Cards and phone calls and photograph pictures of you

Constant reminder of all the things you get used to

Is there a chance in Hell or Heaven

That there's still something here to build on?

Or do you just pick up the pieces after they fall?

But after all

There's a light in your eyes that I used to see

And a song in the words that you spoke to me

Was I wrong to believe in your melody

There's a light in your eyes?

Did you leave that light burning for me?

Should I keep on waiting or does love keep on fading away?

Fading away...

It's been a while since I've seen you so how have you been?

Did you get my letter I wrote you that I did not send?

I tried to call your old number

But the voice of the girl on the phone

I recognized but she told me the number was wrong

There's a light in my eyes it's too bright to see

And a pain in my heart where you used to be

Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me?

There's a light in your eyes?

Did you leave that light burning for me?
