I was too afraid to say a word So I sat there, looking at you
Your eyes are like the chocolate, thought I Enticing, sweet, comforting, and kind Your eyes are like a fireplace, thought I Radiating with warmth, hope, and truth Your eyes are like a swift stream, thought I Swirling with thought and imagination Your eyes are like the moonlit stars, thought I Beautiful gems, bright diamonds, glittering love
Suddenly, for an instant, they found me And they pronounced me guilty of looking I was too afraid to say a word So I sat there, looking at my toes
And I couldn't stop thinking If only I was not too afraid Then, what word would I have said?
