Think I should think that sunsets are pretty That I should smile when I see the lights of the city And the clouds in the sky Dew drops on leaves And the sparkle in your eyes. But I don’t. Every now and then I think I should But I don’t. When the sun dips down And spills its rose wine Across speckled sky line I don’t really care. I just close my hand And realize I can Since yours isn’t there. i see city lights one moment and your eyes so bright the next...
