IN YOUR EYES

The night air was cool as we walked,
He held my hand tightly as we talked,
Of love and life and telling lies.
Then I told him I no longer loved him,
And he said, “Don’t you know the stars
Are brightest, when the moon is in your eyes?
When the moon is in your eyes.”

And I said, “I enjoyed the night,
Preferred the darkness to the light.”
The night wind mingled with my sighs,
I knew if he said he loved me,
Underneath the stars and moon,
He’d just be telling me more lies,
Telling me more lies.

We continued walking in the night,
Kissed and held each other tight,
Holding on while love dies,
Neither of us knowing why.
We were hanging onto memories,
And broken hearts and lies.
Broken hearts and lies.

I said, “Maybe we should say good-bye.”
Wasn’t prepared to see him cry,
Tears mingled with both our sighs,
We turned to walk our separate ways,
And he said, “Don’t you know the stars
Are always brightest, when the moon is in your eyes.
When the moon is in your eyes.”
