Happier Eyes and Kinder Hearts
There are no happier eyes than yours,
there's no kinder heart than yours;
my huge universe is built on these,
my passion is an incurable disease!
Happier eyes and kinder hearts
rhyme perfectly in any song...
then sing it for love, then sing it for joy;
you'll be amazed for how long
it will stay on lips that taste happiness...
while arms hug tenderly!
I've been loving others
for the wrong reasons,
did I ever abuse you to fulfill
my selfish desires?
Every touch you felt was a thrill,
every smile was brighter than stars!
There are no happier eyes than yours,
there's no kinder heart than yours;
I may seem hard in looks,
but kind in tender emotions!
Happier eyes and kinder hearts
rhyme perfectly in any song,
then sing it for love, then sing it for joy;
you'll be amazed for how long
it'll stay on lips that taste happiness...
while arms hug tenderly!
Isn't the concept of men
who hold back tears
an unfair perception?
I have cried silently not showing
more sensitive eyes,
how much harm I did to myself
hiding in shame, not letting
tears fall and reveal my true self?
Happier eyes and kinder hearts
rhyme perfectly in any song,
sing it for love, sing it for joy;
you'll be amazed how long
it'll stay on lips that taste happiness'''
while arms hug tenderly!
[This poem can be sung to the tune of Memory from the Broadway Musical,
" Cats ". I haven't written the music yet. Most likely it will be a crossover:
a pop/country/rock song.]
