That Unpromising Smile

You give me that unpromising smile I hear your murmurs and cries Please stay awhile…stay awhile… You’re a lovely child in my eyes Angels do fly Like eagles in the free-spirited sky Darling, don’t worry – Don’t be afraid of the currents of the wind Baby, I’ll carry your load – Release your happiness Promise me you’ll be like this As long as we both depend on each other I won’t deny that I think fondly of you Oh, and I don’t know the reason why We fly so high In the aqua-blue sky You give me that grumpy frown And it signals something’s wrong I give in to gravity – we’re spiraling down Spiraling down…and you’re wearing a woeful gown You’re everything I love You are the miracles that sprinkle from up above Angels do fly Like eagles in the free-spirited sky Darling, don’t rush things through – I’ll swallow my pride… There’s nothing to hide There’s nothing to hide Don’t be afraid of the currents of the wind Baby, I’ll carry your load and I’ll be by your side– Release your cheerfulness every single day Promise me you’ll be remain this way As long as we both depend on each other I won’t deny that I think highly of you, my darling angel Oh, and I don’t know the reason why We fly so high In the aqua-blue sky Promise me one last time That you will be brave And grow like a tree flourishingly You didn’t lose hope and you held on to the rope With a good grip You’re a strong child You made my heart dance to your priceless tune I feel so soft and distasteful like a prune We will hold each other tight soon Before the afternoon… While you took wing, I watched you soar away…foolishly I won’t bid You a farewell! Where does your heart dwell?

17th on the list: This one's a tearjerker for me at least. I really felt like I was letting go of everything that's very precious to me but they no longer warm me.
