certain ears

 [1]

how can i

become bigger

in you

expanding your

mind with a memory

of me;

[2]

how can i

grow

in your

eye

what is the magic

to love you

and have it reciprocated

to have you

consider my

merit and try;

[3]

is there a trick i

should master…

an angle i

should play…

are there certain affections

upon which i

should rely;

[4]

i

know

certain music

attracts certain ears

as the melody enthuses

a listener drawn near

select notes

play at the heart and soul/

emotion pursues

the high and the low/

each is assured to

bring one to tears

all this i

should consider

if i

am to succeed;

[5]

for it is you

my

darling day upon day every day

i live

i bleed

[6]

employing all every day to win you
