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

Till the moment I awake and find

I can smile and say

That I can gaze at you again

Without a blush or qualm

My eyes ashine like new again

My manner poised and calm

Stay far away

My love, far away

Till I forget I gazed at you today

Today

Today
