F#m7 B F#m7 B
It was late last night, I was feeling something wasn't right,
F#m7 B E E7+
there was not another soul in sight, only you, only you
F#m7 B F#m7 B
So we walked along, though I knew that there was something wrong,
F#m7 B E E7+
and a feeling hit me, oh, so strong about you
A7+ B F#m7 B G#m7
Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see,
F#m7 B E E7+
Cause I saw the light in your eyes
F#m7 B E E7+
Cause I saw the light in your eyes
F#m7 B F#m7 B
Though we had our fling, I just never would suspect a thing
F#m7 B E E7+
till that little bell began to ring in my head,
F#m7 B F#m7 B
I tried to run, though I knew it wouldn't help me none,
F#m7 B E E7+
cause I couldn't ever love no one, or so I said
A7+ B F#m7 B G#m7
But my feelings for you were just something I never knew
F#m7 B E E7+
Til I saw the light in your eyes
F#m7 B E E7+
Til I saw the light in your eyes
F#m7 B F#m7 B
I love you best, it's not something that I say in jest,
F#m7 B E E7+
you're different from all the rest in my eyes
A7+ B F#m7 B G#m7
And I ran out before, but I won't do it anymore
F#m7 B E E7+
Can't you see the light in my eyes
F#m7 B E E7+
Can't you see the light in my eyes
F#m7 B E A E A E7+
Can't you see the light in my eyes in my eyes in my eyes
