Light In Your Eyes
Blessid Union Of Souls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't remember the last time that we kissed goodbye
All our "I love you's" were just not enough to survive
Something your eyes never told me
But it's only now to plain to see
Brilliant disguise when you hold me
And I'm free

I've been thinking and here's what I come to conclude
Sometimes the distance is more than two people can use
But how should I have know girl
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 you eyes that I used to see
There's a place in you 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 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 she told me the number was wrong

There's a light in my eyes but it'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 here for me




There is a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me.

This is hands down one of my top 5 favorite songs from such an amazing talented band! I hate that I NEVER hear Blessed Union Of Souls on the radio or anywhere for that matter! They are such an underrated band that deserves a revival of some kind! One band I’d never erase, delete or remove my playlists!

Dave B-rock

Because radio managers would rather stick to bland sound alike bands and boring repetitive or gimmick songs.

James Bond

I love songs that tell a story instead of repeating the same thing over and over again. This is one of my many favorites. 😊

Lisa Robitaille

This video makes me so very happy! This has been and will always be one of my absolute favorite songs ever!
