Emilie Autumn - The Day You Love lyrics

Remember And tell me The day you love Behind a veil of tears How dreams as these You dreamt not of And thought to pa** your years More peaceably than others do Devoid of common pain Your own company pleased you And as you heard complain Of those small hurts that never heal And scar their victims deep You oft' proclaimed your heart could feel No love And sought to keep Your perfect brow Untarnished by The sorrow you would save Your perfect lips Unvarnished lie To kiss might thee enslave Protected are thy limbs No fear of deeds Unseemly grasp thee Directed by thy perfect ear No words could hope to clasp thee Indeed thou will not be enshrined Will honor no man's name But in disdain You are, you'll find Enshrined all the same In your defense You say "not so" When standeth thee accused Of hatred for mankind But O How hast thou been abused That such a mortal fear Could frighten All your nature wills So much So that what might enlighten Pa**ion Pity k**s And cannot bear to look upon A soul you have enraptured With cruel haste You bid begone The fools you have encaptured Mistake me not It is unjust For every lovestruck squire To claim a heart he hasn't won But what of your desire? Can'st thou pretend within thy breast A beat was ne'er misplaced And lost somewhere? Dost thou but jest To say thou never traced With trembling fingertips The image Of a foreign shore Embarking on a pilgrimage To where none touched before? The most deluded eyes could see Thou harbor'st in thy frame A store more rich than most should be In every sense's flame That thou dost feel I know it well That thou dost weep I'll swear That thou dost love I'll live to tell If thou would only dare Remember And tell me The day you love Beyond all this What truth Within my counsel lay And thank me With a kiss
