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...

...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 he told me the number was wrong...

There's a light in my eyes that'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 for me...

There's a light in your eyes

Did you leave that light burning for me?

Tonight this road home feels a little longer

I hope you know that you were my best friend

Tonight I said goodbye, but I should have said more

Thanks for the best time of my life.

Come home, now that you're gone I've finally realized

That you were the best

Come home, I won't forget the times that we had

I'm wishing that you weren't a part of my past

Emptiness swallows this town

From now on I will be alone for good

Will you remember my name?

I'm hoping that I will hear from you soon

Thank you for everything

Come home, now that you're gone I've finally realized

That you were the best

Come home, I won't forget the times that we had
