Through my smile and your gaze our love will not die
The distance, is a cancer, but together we talk loud
You are my dear and my love, so there is no need to cry
They say young love is blind, and is made of a lie
I say that is a myth, and in bitterness it attempts to shroud
Through my smile and your gaze our love will not die
You hear that I am a scoundrel, an affair did I try
I say that rumors are made by the jealous crowd
You are my dear and my love, so there is no need to cry
I am told that you have left, in my absence you did fly
You say that is foolish, that my strength makes you proud
Through my smile and your gaze our love will not die
I hear Adonis asked for your hand, you refused and he asked why
You say that I am no God, I am better and need no blinded crowd
You are my dear and my love, so there is no need to cry
Through temptation and rumors, our love did not fry
We need no approval, or judges to be wowed
Through my smile and your gaze our love will not die
You are my dear and my love, so there is no need to cry
