Where Are The Bright Eyes?

Where are the bright eyes?

That blazed with the flame of your soul

Where is the bright smile?

That used to beam out of control

Where are the loving arms?

That hold me tight

Where is the soft voice?

That told me it's alright

What do I have to do?

You know I love you...

Where are the hands?

That caressed my hair

And what of our plans?

For this love affair

Tell me why my night

Has ceased turning

Just tell me why my sun

Has quit burning

What do I have to say?

To make this go away...

Where is the lightning?

That forks through the black

And the fingernails

That trickled down my back

What of the breath?

That tickled my neck

Why's my heart written off?

Like a bad check

What must I testify?

To find out why...

Where are the bright eyes?

That blazed with the flame of your soul

Where is the bright smile?

That used to beam out of control...
