Once I Smiled Lyrics by Leonard Nimoy

Highly Illogical

0

Once I smiled a smile so rare
Loved a girl with golden hair
Acted like a human boy
That would pause on clouds of joy
Ran through fields like a child of the ground
Kissed and touched with a silent sound
Swung from trees like a monkey pup
Saw the world from downside up
Then reality came crushing
Drowned my joy with human pain
"Don't go"
"Must go"
Never again
Once I smiled a smile so rare
Loved a girl with golden hair
Ran through fields like a child of the ground
Kissed and touched with a silent sound
Now inside I keep my pearl
An image of a golden girl
Locked away in a secret part
Covered and heard in a seashell heart
