Your Eyes were Asking (words + music - Jon Brindley)

The last time that I saw your face your eyes were asking

Why leave me now and cause such pain

If you stay we could be happy

I started my car, I drove far beyond the horizon

There was no because, not for words

Only sounds of sadness

...wait and there is change as the seasons change

Following a light we might not always see

A power that dictates the hour

Of our sorrow, of our joy…

Through tears I looked in the air, still saw you there, your eyes were asking

How can you be so very hard

You can see my love's for the taking

And all that I did know was I love you so and that I was leaving you

After all this time and I felt so blind

But had to find what I was needing

It's not a fairground ride, we must all decide

If we are to let God's love work through us

And live the best that we can live

Making the most of the gifts given to us…

…your eyes were asking
