Some once upon a time
romance was just a tale to me
How sad a fate, as time
compressed my faith in love - no plea

Greenly thought I would resist
that daemon crawling up my spine
Boldly thought I could insist
that fate should be a friend of mine

Needless, goony smiles of lovers
moved me not to more than pity
Left those foolish games to others
smug of being oh so witty

These days my faith - seems brimful as can be
Just since I found - some goony smiles on me
