Robert John – Sad Eyes lyrics

Robert John – Sad Eyes lyrics

Looks like its over
You knew I couldn't stay
She's coming 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 sit and defend
But it's over......

Chorus

Guitar solo

Sad eyes
You knew there would come a day
When we would have to say goodbye

Chorus

Such a BS song. Cheating sucks and this song, as good as the music and melody are, kinga make it seems like it's ok. And he doesn't want to look at her being sad because it makes to deserved guilt even worse. 2, or even 3 lives are ruined by affairs.

To me, this song represents a man having an affair with a woman, who is not his real wife, or girlfriend. His real wife or girlfriend returns home from wherever she was, and he has to break up his relationship with his lover. His lover is very sad, it breaks her heart, and he tries to console her by telling her he never used her, and that he really did care, but he has to resume his relationship with his real wife or girlfriend.

To me this song represents a man having an affair, with a woman who is not his regular wife or girlfriend. His wife or girlfriend comes home, and he has to break up his relationship with his lover. His lover is very sad, about this, it breaks her heart, and he is trying to tell her not to be sad, and tries to console her, by telling her that he never used her, and that he really did care about her, but that he has to resume his relationship with his real wife or girlfriend.

During the Vietnam war this happened to many couples. The war ended in early 75, but those Drafted ( or in this case maybe a woman that Volunteered ) were returning.home, while the love between her and the man was still there, he strayed. Or another explanation is the love of his life, went away for school and was returning, while he got another to fall on love with him, it's now time to let her go. ( Hey at least it appears he was Honest with the Affair as she knew there would come the time his real love came home. No matter what it all lays on the Man's Shoulders. If he really loved the first one, he should have kept the zipper up !

A guy is telling a girl, it was a good time while it lasted, but that it is over, their relationship. They both new his girl could come back. Or his girlfriend left out of town for a while, and she is back. Maybe he was cheating on the first girl? This could also be the other way around, she could be cheating on him, and could be telling a guy goodbye?
