    Lyrics »

It was late last night
I was feeling something wasn't right
There was not another soul in sight
Only you, only you
So we walked along, though I knew that there was something wrong
And a feeling hit me oh so strong about you
Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see
'Cause I saw the light in your eyes

Though we had our fling
I just never would suspect a thing
Till that little bell began to ring in my head
In my head
But I tried to run, though I knew it wouldn't help me none
'Cause I couldn't ever love no one, or so I said
But my feelings for you were just something I never knew
Till I saw the light in your eyes

But I love you best
It's not something that I say in jest (ha ha)
Cause you're different, girl, from all the rest
In my eyes
And I ran out before but I won't do it anymore
Can't you see the light in my eyes
