Irises of Your Love
Lovely darling, Another moon, Has sighed, With the irises, Of your love, Lovely darling, You gaze, To our moon, To ease your mind, And feel your love, Flow, In its deep glow, The maple trees, Are letting go, Of their summer leaves, As youre letting go, Of lingering tears, In the soul and meadows, Lovely darling, another moon, Has sighed, With the irises, Of your love, Lovely darling, You gaze, To our moon, To ease your mind, Feel the stars, And your love Reynaldo...
