Spark in Your Eye

by Liz

I see a spark in your eye
Maybe you knew it too
I've heard of your dreams gone by
but what is it to you?

I see a joy in your hands
Dancing, gliding 'cross piano keys
Speaking to your heart
How I wish I knew what they were saying

They sing to you, they know you
And it holds you for music lightens storms you cannot weather

I never knew who you were
Only in a photograph you say
Times haven't changed so much to forget how things were
How notes so sweet could ever fade

I see a light in your smile
Holding in your arms the one thing
You could never afford to lose
A child with your eyes

He killed your spirit
Soaring, breath-taking
I see past regret
As he led you away from yourself

You never minded, you never cared
Where is that fire in your soul you hold?
I could never understand beyond that spark in you eye
