Cherokee Eyes

I remember saying good-bye
Before I left him forever
I remember how my voice quaked
And how my heart got severed

His eyes were Cherokee
And every night I prayed
That I’d remember them
And that he’d come back someday

Well years passed and I never forgot
When I looked into his eyes
I saw my reflection
And it made me cry

His love was beautiful
And his heart was pure
He tried so hard
But for me there is not cure.
