I Heard it in Your Eyes
By
Bob Schackner
No matter what you say
And for all our sad good-byes.
I know how you feel about me
Because I heard it in your eyes.
Life’s not always the way we’d like it to be
It’s got some sadness, deceit and lies.
Yet I know that you care so much about us
Because I heard it in your eyes.
Your words confuse me some of the time
And our conversations end in heavy sighs.
But I don’t think you want me to quit on you
Because I heard it in your eyes.
When you look at me, you often say things
That leave me asking the wherefore and whys.
But beyond all that, I feel you really love me
Because I heard it in your eyes.
Your eyes say more than your lips have spoken.
And despite the lows and highs
I know it’s right to love you
Because I heard it in your eyes.
I heard it in your eyes
Whenever you looked into mine.
And your heart said to me
What your lips could not define.
So I’ll keep on trying
And I’ll listen to my heart.
And each time I look in your eyes
I’m sure it’s the right place to start.
And now I long for the day
After all the sadness and all the cries
When you say to me out loud
What you’ve said all along with your eyes.
