Someday

Tell the world that you'll forget
The way she cocked her head
Just before she laughed out loud
At something cute you said

Hypnotic eyes,deepest blue
Were yours a little while
They were topped with golden hair
How could you help but smile

Oh, there were days when you thought 
Of naught but silken skin
Now she's gone, you know not where
And all of that was "then"

So cry, my friend,let it out
Then struggle through this pain
Life is short and she was sweet -
Her kind will come again

Tell the world that you'll forget
She was yours for awhile
Somewhere there will come a day
She'll think of you and smile
