You look at me with sad green eyes,
I’m overcome with feeling –
Such deep emotion they disguise
Yet send my senses reeling;
They speak to me of loneliness
And feelings unexpressed,
Of hopes and dreams unrealized,
And love gone uncaressed;
They cry to me of urgency
To experience it all,
But here you are in limbo
With your back against the wall;
I wish I had the answers
To the questions they impose –
I’m drowning in those sad green eyes
And the sorrow only grows;
If I had one magic wish,
You know what it would be?
To see instead of sad green eyes,
Green eyes that smile for me.
