Looks like it's over, you knew I couldn't stay She's comin' home today We had a good thing, I'll miss your sweet love Why must you look at me that way? It's over [Chorus] Sad eyes, turn the other way I don't want to see you cry Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day When we would have to say "goodbye" Try to remember the magic that we shared In time your broken heart will mend I never used you, you knew I really cared I hate to see it have to end But it's over [Chorus] [Chorus] Sad eyes, turn the other way (turn the other way) I don't want to see you cry (cry, cry, cry) Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day (he-e-e-ey) When we would have to say "goodbye"
