Song: Light in Your Eyes
Band: Blessid Union of Souls
Transcribed by: J. White, Austin, TX
Note: Piano chords differ slightly from guitar chords throughout, and guitar takes
a backseat to what sounds to be a mandolin in the chorus. This is probably part of the source of confusion with
the other tabs. Strumming the high strings only during the chorus helps with sound matching. Here is a version
that can be played solo on rhythm guitar, or with piano accompaniment, that I believe is more accurate than the
other versions available.

Verses:
I can't remember the last time we kissed goodbye
All our I love you's were just not enough to survive
Something your eyes never told me
But it's only now to plain to see
Brilliant disguise when you hold me
and I'm free
(then verse again)
I've been thinking and here's what I've come to conclude
Sometimes the distance is more than two people can use
But how could I have known girl
It was time and not space you would need
Darlin' tonight, I could hold you
And you would know, but would you believe
Chorus:
There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
There's a place in your heart where I used to be
Was I wrong to assume that you were waiting for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
Cards and phone calls and photograph pictures of you
Constant reminder of all the things you get used to
Is there a chance in hell or heaven
That there's still something here to build on
Or do you just pick up the pieces after they fall
But after all
There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
And a song in the words that you spoke to me
Was I wrong to believe in your melody
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
Should I keep on waiting or does love keep on fading away
Fading away
A G (x3)
It's been a while since I've seen you so how have you been
Did you get my letter I wrote you, but I did not send
I tried to call your old number
But the voice that I heard on the phone
I recognized but she told me the number was wrong
(piano only, or slow strum or pick guitar as substitute)
***piano chord progression differs somewhat from guitar part - don't have a piano
here to figure out the nuances, but this arrangement will do.
There's a light in my eyes but it's too bright to see
And a pain in my heart where you used to be
Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
END
Or, easy version of last chorus:
There's a light in my eyes but it's too bright to see
And a pain in my heart where you used to be
Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
