The Scent Of Roses
Under red and green canopies
In the sidewalk café
You turn and you smile at me
Listening, listening to what I say
We talk together like we used to do
Remember chances that we missed
Let me turn your face towards me now
To kiss the lips, that are longing to be kissed
Let me see the scent of roses
Turn to colours in your eyes
And you know what the world was like
Made in love
By the God who made you blind
I lit a long thin candle
Burning softly in the haze
It will light up your eyes for me
But it will not
It will not alter your gaze
Hold my hand as we did before
I will guide you from your chair
Take the path to the waterside
How can I
How can I leave you there?
Let me see the scent of roses
Turn to colours in your eyes
And you knew what the world was like
Made in love
By the God who made you blind
