Before I Gaze At You Again

Before I gaze at you again

I'll need a time for tears

Before I gaze at you again

Let hours turn to years

I have so much forgetting to do

Before I try to gaze again at you

Stay away until you cross my mind

Barely once a day

Stay away until I wake and find

That I can smile and say:

That I shall gaze at you again

Without a blush or qualm

My eyes will shine like new again

My manner poised and calm

No sign of fear

Not even a sigh

And so till when

We gaze again

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

Goodbye!
