The Girl with the Sunny Eyes

“Go ahead,” she said,
“Do whatever you want with it.”
The things that take her mind,
The girl with the sunny eyes.

She's so much like me,
The way she hides her dreams.
So much like me,
The way she trusts her dreams.

“Go ahead,” she said,
“Take a seat or take my time, instead.”
“Everything you see.”
I don’t know if she ever sees me.

Love lead her there,
To the world I know so well.
Love lead her there,
This girl that I know so well.

“Go ahead,” she said.
And she wrestles with sleeplessness.
She’s lost her sense of time,
The girl with the sunny eyes.

And life is such a bumpy ride,
Oh life, I might not make in time for life,
It’s been a lonely ride,
This life.

It seems I’ll never get it right.
