Chris de Burgh - 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 . . .
