She Can\'t Smile

On a rocky hill she stood up and looked back

The coastal wind gently blew her black hair up

Unveiling her past memories again

How she loved him with a warm heart

But she can\'t smile

 

Her eyes are red as crimson

The arrows of betrayal sank deep in her heart

All joy they shared , only her heart speaks

African boy told her \" till death part us\"

She believed a lie now she can\'t smile

 

That gently touch and a warm kiss

All gone like titanic glory

If only today was yesterday

She picks two stones and rubs them together

This too is a memory how they loved each other

 

The wind changes direction and blew dust in her eyes

She sobs with unending pain in her heart

Sweet fragrance of love remains to be memories

She tries to look in West , golden sun sets in peace

It all began with sweet words but she can\'t smile

 

Love is strong as death for the heart that loves

She wipes dust off her beautiful feet

Memories remains and love hurts 

The wind whispers to cheer her up

All will be well if she can smile.
