"The Smile Has Left Your Eyes" - Asia

Who remembers this song from 1983? I forgot how much I love this song until I heard it again on one of my many 80's CDs.



I heard that this song was written about a former wife or girlfriend (not sure which one).
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Just found this online:

John Wetton wrote this about bandmate Geoff Downes. In a 1983 magazine interview, Wetton said: "He was going through a complete emotional turmoil over a girl about a year and a half ago, and I identified so strongly that I went home and wrote the song in 5 minutes. Boom! Sat right down at the piano and there it was. If anything's straight from the heart, that song is."
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.
