| Why Can't It Be |
They look down on me with disdain They think me unable to love But mine for you will never wane As does the moon above I've got to escape dispair Caused by the longing for the thee And my feelings still to bare But why can't it be Thy sweet smile can't be forgotten Nor can thy loyal looking eyes By my tears the ground now sodden And there my pride now lies Here I stand in full disgrace Waiting for you to free me With your warm embrace But why can't it be I try to look beyond the horizion's end To see as far as I can see But my eyes can't seem to make it beyond this bend For I can only focus on the true beauty that lies before me Waiting for thy tender touch Weeping for thy love It looks like what I do isn't much But I pray with every star in the heavens above What is it that I have to do to show thee The longing I have for you to be free with me Why can't it be ? by Emile Joseph |
