I Had The Love In My Eyes

I Had The Love In My Eyes
Words & Music by Chris de Burgh

Am             F
Show me a man secure in his love,
          C          G    Am 
And I'll show you a lucky man;
   Am                       F
I loved her too well and I just couldn't tell,
        G               Am
She was holding another hand,
    Dm                                        Am
And when she said that she would leave in the morning,
   G
I broke down and cried,
   
                C                  Em        
'Cos I had the love in my eyes, I just didn't see it,
Dm      
Such a surprise, I just don't believe it,
C        Em       Am               Dm   G
Somebody took her away, oh I was blind,
G                              C
I had the love in my eyes...

Day after day, in so many ways,
I gave her the best of me,
But she wanted more, and she opened the door,
Well I hope that you find what you need;
And all the time I thought that she was beside me,
She was drifting away,

But I had the love in my eyes, I just didn't see it,
Such a surprise, I just don't believe it,
Somebody took her away, oh I was blind,
I had the love in my eyes,
I had the love in my eyes...
