A 
I didn't try to fall in love with you 
E7 
Tried everything that I could do 
G 
To keep myself from falling  
                           A 
Like I've done so many times 


Tried to wash it all away 
With anything and every day 
I think of all the things we said 
When we were all alone 


E7 
I saw daylight in your eyes 
G                                A 
I saw daylight in your eyes 


I wish I could but I can't say  
Tomorrow's still a day away 
I'll always love the times 
That I can spend with you 

Who can know and who can tell 
I never seen a wishin' well 
That held what its' supposed to hold but who knows 
Maybe somewhere there might be 

I saw daylight in your eyes 
I saw daylight in your eyes 

Time will come and time will go 
Can I believe in things I know 
Been doing it a long time 
Guess I can again 

Win or draw no chance to lose 
Picture cards can't picture you 
But I can see you like you are 
When I just close my eyes
