Lyrics of Leonard Nimoy's songs

~ Once I Smiled

Once I smiled a smile so rare
Loved a girl with golden hair
Acted like a human boy
That would pause of clouds and joy
Ran through fields like a child of the ground
Kissed and touched with a silent sound
Swung from trees like a monkey pup,
Saw the world from downside up

Then reality came crushing, drowned my joy with human pain

"Don't go!"

"Must go."

Never again!

Once I smiled a smile so rare,
Loved a girl with golden hair
Ran through fields like a child to the ground
Kissed and touched with a silent sound
Now inside I keep my pearl
An image of a golden girl
Locked away in a secret part
Covered and heated in a seashell heart
