I Could Tell You

I Could Tell You She's Got Green Eyes,
But I Won't Be Able To Get Lost In Them Again.

I Could Tell You She Snorts In Her Laugh,
But It Won't Mean I Will Hear It One More Time.

I Could Tell You Her Favourite Song,
But I Won't Hear Her Sing It Again.

I Could Tell You Her Phone Number,
But It Doesnt Mean I Will Ring It Again.

I Could Tell You She Likes Lilies,
But I Won't Be Able Give Her Another Dozen.

I Could Tell You We Went Out For Four Months,
But I Can't Tell You Why She Walked Away From Me.

Very well written, so poignant and sad, yet avoiding being over sentimental. Very well done. Regards Heidie

This has such sadness, but is a beautiful expression of the deepest feelings one can have. God Bless
