Here's Looking at You
There are people who shed slow, joyous tears
From the heart, which send a feeling through the veins
That no life is lost but that celled in fears.
There is a source of birth in the human pains
Of feeling music, seeing warmth, and pouring self from cup to cup;
Drinking down the stroke of reason in a talking hand,
Or the glint of dreams in two bashful eyes turned up
From a face too personal to stare into,
Because it is yours, my friend, and I love you.
