Only Just a Glance

by J.E. Melton

 

Things are seldom what they seem.
Is life nothing but a dream?
Love is only just a glance,
Eyes that meet as if by chance,
Things are seldom what they seem.

Can a man be nothing but a man?
Shall a woman do what she can?
Love is only just a glance,
Hearts follow steps within the dance,
Can a man be nothing but a man?

A kiss is nothing but a kiss,
Might lips touch instead of miss?
Love is only just a glance,
Whatever the moment can enhance,
A kiss is nothing but a kiss.

Things are seldom what they seem.
Why can't we live within this dream?
Love is only just a glance,
There's no such thing as sweet romance,
Things are seldom what they seem.

Tomorrow we'll have to part,
Who needs a broken heart?
Love is only just a glance,
Don't be afraid to take a chance,
Tomorrow we'll have to part.

Love is only just a dream,
Things are seldom
What they seem.

Transgender is where you find it

I can hear one of the old crooner's singing this, Erin without a hint to most of the audience of just what some of the lines mean. A TG version of Strangers in the Night. :grin:

Might lips touch instead of miss?

...truly lovely and moving. I'm glad I found this today...and it wasn't random at all, dear heart...Thank you!
She was born for all the wrong reasons but grew up for all the right ones.
Possa Dio riccamente vi benedica, tutto il mio amore, Andrea

Crying is all right in its own way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later,
and then you still have to decide what to do. ― C.S. Lewis
Love, Andrea Lena
