light in your eyes lyrics

I can't remember the last time that we kissed goodbye
All of 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, 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
The 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, 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 that I heard 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
