I was eating in a small taverna in Venice when a loving couple inspired this love song.

Their hands reached across the table
With a smile so amiable
Her cheeks lit up the room
When her fingers reached her love's.

You can search a thousand years
For a love that will make you feel
Like the beginning of all creation
Began in her green eyes.

When you find her,
Then you blind your
Roving eye and mind her,
And the love you were designed for
Will follow you where ere you go.

Her hand leaned on her cheek
As she opened her lips to speak
The man drank every word
Like the beer he held in his hand.

I saw his search was done
When his eyes touched her tongue.
The smile they wore was one,
And I wished that it was mine.
