Before I Gaze At You Again

Before I gaze
At you again
I'll need a time for tears
Before I gaze at you again
Let hours turn to years
I have
So much
Forgetting to do
Before I try
To gaze again
At you

Stay away
Until you cross my mind
Barely once a day
Stay away
Until I wake and find
I can smile and say

That I shall gaze
At you again
Without a blush or qualm
My eyes will shine
Like new again
My manner poised and calm
No sign of fear
Not even a sigh
And so till when
We meet again
Goodbye

When I can
Gaze at you again
Without a blush or qualm
My eyes will shine
Like new again
My manner poised and calm
No sign of fear
Not even a sigh
And so till when
We meet again
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
