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
