The Color Of Your Eyes
by Don Taco ©2025
I'm ready to go
the race has been run
the guitar's in tune
the songs have been sung
I'm no longer healthy
wealthy, smug, or spry
but there's just a few more songs I'd like to write before I die
the color of your eyes...
in moonlight
set off by just a smudge of chocolate on your cheek
from a wayward chocolate-dipped strawberry we stole
from the wedding party we passed in the hallway of
the hotel we stayed in on our twentieth anniversary
I'd still like to sing that
the color of your eyes...
with just a hint of a tear in the corner
catching the sunlight we stared into watching our darling
melissa march to accept her diploma twenty years after
the doctor told us her heart wasn't right and
she probably wouldn't live out her first year
I'd still like to sing that
the color of your eyes...
just that
the color of your eyes
I'd still like to sing that
I'd still like to sing that
