[verse]
In unspoken ways
Our beating hearts convey
The messages of one-another's soul
With no why or when

Timeless ...

I'd never ask
Whose water that you stole
To give me back these tears
I'll cry again

[chourus]
When we make love, why
Do you always close your eyes?
It's so hard to change what might have been ...

But I long to see the light you shine
From someplace deep within
So open up your eyes, Vera Lynn

[verse]
In unbroken lines
Our lives are intertwined
In a world bejeweled with secrets
That nobody knows

Suddenly ...

All our lives
Have flashed before our eyes
Like a ghostly presence
That comes and goes

[chorus]
When we make love, why
Do you always close your eyes?
It's so hard to change what might have been ...

But I long to see the light you shine
From someplace deep within
So open up your eyes, Vera Lynn

[bridge]
Is this love just a game
Played on both sides
Of a dangling conversation
That never ends

Or will you be waiting in the morning
To paint a scarlet letter on my breast
And send me away

[chorus]
When we make love, why
Do you always close your eyes?
It's so hard to change what might have been ...

But I long to see the light you shine
From someplace deep within
So open up your eyes, Vera Lynn
