When You Can't Even See My Face
I wave at you but you don't notice
I come close, lean in and give you a kiss
Your cheek shines right after
or maybe it just felt like it
I look at your face, my sadness you can erase
I keep looking at you with a smile on my face
suddenly sky catches my eye
How can it be two suns in the sky?
One is not a sun I realize
It's actually a figure rather than a shining dot
I hear the figure talking to me
Whispering : it's time for me to leave
I cannot resist and stay
When you can't even see my face
I get close to the figure, she's beautiful
But not as much as you, this delightful
I know everyone would say otherwise
But they can't see you from my eyes
So I take her hand and fade into the sky
There's no point in saying goodbye
When you can't hear that at all
