believed it could make a poignant song about lost love.

Lyrics
GOODBYE IS WRITTEN SOFTLY IN YOUR EYES
It's funny feeling lonesome here beside you
Side by side where we've loved so many times
It's hard to understand.....
Has love played out its hand--
Goodbye is written softly in your eyes
Remember the night we shared our first warm kisses
I thought I heard forever in your sighs
All this time by your side
I didn't notice when it died.....
Goodbye is written softly in your eyes
While I told my friends that you were meant for me.....
I was less than you thought--obviously-y-y-y-y
And it breaks my heart
To see you start
To search each stranger's smile.....
Goodbye is written softly in your eyes
But that's just you--I know you hate to hurt me
You'd rather tell another gentle lie
You think it's still your secret
Oh Baby, you can't keep it.....
Goodbye is written softly in your eyes
Tag: It's gonna be so hard to hide this broken smile....
Goodbye is written softly in your eyes
