STRAWBERRIES EYES

Remember that winter night

In the snow, we would play

Catching snowflakes on our tongues

That was the time we felt so young

 

Strawberry eyes

So sweet the way you look at me

With a childlike smile light up the night

Strawberry eyes

Hope the snow doesn’t melt

Because of the warmth of loving friendship

 

This snowman we made will he be the third wheel

Getting between me and you

You got the carrot I have the two eyes of coal

If we give him a smile will you leave me for him

You wanted to call him Jamie

I wanted to call him Christopher

Rap a purple scarf around his neck

If he came to life, we can call him PRINCE

 

Strawberry eyes

You were so beautiful that winter night

The warmth was just right

Strawberry eyes

You took my hand I pulled you close

I hope these feelings inside are not a lie
