Sarah’s Eyes – Vern Gosdin

I found her in the morning sunshine standing by the road
She said she was a traveler with no place to go
I told her I was going there and offered her a ride
I was taken with the look in Sarah’s eyes

We laughed and talked and told each other everything we knew
Then 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 love light shine in Sarah’s eyes

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

Time sure takes it’s time when you got no place else to be
And purpose takes the pleasure out of being free
We traveled 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 crying in my arms
Her fever raged and burned as the new life in her formed
And 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
She said, I’ll be waiting for you
Until we’re back together
No light will ever shine in Sarah’s eyes
