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? 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?
