As I get beaten down
Mercilessly forced to the ground
As my dreams get more bleak
And my hopes fade away
...
A bit longer
I should have gazed in your eyes a bit longer,
your beautiful... big... brown eyes
I should have stared-a bit longer- as they glittered
...
Before I close my eyes to this world
I want to wear a broad smile- with the thought of you
I want to feel my eyes swell up with joyful tears
When I reminisce
...
