Isn't It Obvious?

Isn't it obvious,
how my eyes look away from yours?
And the funny little laugh,
I do on your behalf,
comes and goes at your command.
Isn't it obvious? So where do I stand?

Do I wrestle with the sky?
for it makes as much sense.
To try to hide it and deny,
in some pitiful pretense.

There is no way to hide,
there's nowhere I can go,
It's just so obvious, so obvious,
So how come you don't even know?

Can you tell a brilliant sun,
it must no longer shine?
Can you tell a blissfull heart,
you can't see that you're mine?
Isn't it obvious? So obvious?

There comes a point to step away,
and take these gifts I have,
Guess there isn't much I can say,
One of us won't be hurt as bad.

As I turn from you and leave,
Like thunder it comes through,
I listen but I half-believe,
the words whispered from you....
"Isn't it obvious? So obvious?
I feel the same about you too."
