When I look at your picture The first thing I see Is your laughing brown eyes Smiling at me When we talked We talked for hours And I remember the day You brought me flowers We were so young then We hadn’t a clue That our time was running out That God was waiting for you I wept in the church As our friends said goodbyes I wept in our room As tears fell from my eyes Now I look at your picture And the first thing I see Is your sad, loving eyes I know you’re waiting for me
