I once looked into your eyes, and felt time stop.
I once looked into your eyes, and saw nothing but black.
I’ve seen you soft, glowing and free;
I’ve also seen things you never wished for me
You turn as though caught in the phases of the moon;
full of light, half dark – a black hole in the sky
And somehow, every time I looked up,
you just never failed to catch my eye
And whether love is long lost,
and our futures set in stone,
I keep your memory tucked tightly away,
so that neither of us can truly be alone.

I once looked into your eyes, and felt time stop.
I once looked into your eyes, and saw nothing but black.
I’ve seen you soft, glowing and free;
I’ve also seen things you never wished for me
You turn as though caught in the phases of the moon;
full of light, half dark – a black hole in the sky
And somehow, every time I looked up,
you just never failed to catch my eye
And whether love is long lost,
and our futures set in stone,
I keep your memory tucked tightly away,
so that neither of us can truly be alone.
