I can't remember the last time that we kissed good-bye

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 here 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, but 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 but 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
