D-DU-UDU
Her face was crystal, fair and fine
Her breath was morning, her lips were wine
Her eyes were laughter, her touch divine
Her face was crystal, and she was mine.
If only she could feel my pain
But feelin's a burden she can't sustain
So Like A Summer Thursday, I cry for rain
To come and turn the ground to green again.
If only she could hear my song
'Bout the empty difference 'tween rights and wrongs
Then I know that I could stand alone
As well as they, now that she's gone.
Repeat 1st verse
Her face was crystal, fair and fine
Her breath was morning and her lips were wine
Her eyes were laughter, her touch divine
Her face was crystal, and she was mine.
If only she could feel my pain
Feelin's a burden she can't sustain
So Like A Summer Thursday, I cry for rain
To come and turn the ground to green again.
If only she could hear my song
'Bout the empty difference 'tween rights and wrongs
Then I know that I could stand alone
As well as they, now that she's gone.
Her face was crystal, and she was mine ...
