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
