Текст песни Once I Smiled - Leonard Nimoy

Once I smiled a smile so rare,
Loved a girl with golden hair
Acted like a human boy
That would pause on clouds of joy
Ran through fields like a child of the ground
Kissed and touched with a silent sound
Swung from trees like a monkey pup,
Saw the world from downside up

Then reality came crushing drowned my joy with human pain

"Don't go!"

"Must go"

Never again!

Once I smiled a smile so rare,
Loved a girl with golden hair
Ran through fields like a child of the ground
Kissed and touched with a silent sound
Now inside I keep my pearl
An image of a golden girl
Locked away in a secret bard
Covered and heard in a seashell heart
