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?
