"I Can See It"

by J Avery Johnson   May 26, 2004


I can see it when I look in your eyes.
You've been hurt by LOVE, so it's hard for you to cry.
See some time ago, you all but gave up.
LOVE had come and gone... and it hurt so much
When I look in your eyes, I see everything but tears.
See they've all but dried up... over the years.
Agony, Pain, Dismay and Despair,

Passion, Lust, Pride and Care.

I can see it when I look I your eyes.
You're tired of the secrets, fed up with the lies.
Lying in wait for Mr. Right to one day come
Waiting for a day when your heart's no longer numb.
See LOVE had come and gone and it hurt you deep
The wells of your eyes dry, with no tears to weep.

I can see it in your eyes, just beyond the PAIN...
I can hear it in your voice, whenever you say my name.
