SARAH'S EYES
(Shirl Milete / Vern Gosdin)





I found her in the mornin' sunshine standin' by the road
She said she was a traveller with no place to go
I told her I was goin' there and offered her a ride
I was taken with the look in Sarah's eyes

We laughed and talked and told eah other everything we knew
And we made love in the warm sunshine that afternoon
She had no strings or hang-ups and we found a natural high
When I made the lovelight shine in Sarah's eyes

I said I'm so glad I found you
She said arms feel so right around you
I will always love you
There'll be no other love in Sarah's eyes

Time sure takes its time when you got no place else to be
And purpose takes the pleasure out of bein' free
We travelled light and we never once looked back or wondered why
Till I saw a troubled look in Sarah's eyes

Then on a cold night in Chicago she lay cryin' in my arms
Her fever raged and burned as the new life in her formed
Then just before she left this world she smiled and said goodbye
I watched the soul take flight from Sarah's eyes

And I cried I will always love you
And she said I'll be waiting for you
Until we're back together
No light will ever shine in Sarah's eyes
