Before I Gaze At You Again lyrics

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
Stay away until I wake and find
That I can smile and say

That I shall gaze at you again
Without a blush or qualm
My eyes will shine like new again
My manner poised and calm

No sign of fear
Not even a sigh
And so till when
We meet again, goodbye
