Dont say much.

Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)



If i don't say much.
Its because i see,
me in you
and you in me.

If i don't say much,
its because I'm gone,
lost in your eyes
where i belong.

If i don't say much
its because i dare not,
risk losing this treasure
that i have caught.

If i don't say much
its because i feel
more love for you
than words can reveal.

if i don't say much
it can only be,
that free from this spell
i don't wish to be.
