Wash Away Sad Eyes Life is burdened with splendor life is colored with pain I see you trying to build up your sand castles against the tide time and time again I hate to see it hopes driven into the ground it can all be so useless but don't let it get you down Don't let that cold wind blow your cares away wash away sad eyes don't listen when you hear them say fall come on rise above it all Love is tainted with glory love is twisted and sad whenever you try to outrun the world's blade your aching heart will beat like mad it's always that way Icarus with melted wings crying living a dream is so daunting but don't let it stop you from trying Don't let that cruel rain clear your soul away wash away sad eyes don't listen when you hear them say fail come on ring out like a bell And I will be right here with open ears ready to hear your song of self-worth to take on the world glisten like the light of dawn I watch it rise again in you girl so don't fret, don't cut yourself down to size c'mon wash away those sad eyes Happiness is a long road happiness is a ledge I see you building up your sand castles here right along the tide's edge and I can see it hopes once lost are found it is all so very fragile but don't let it get you down Don't let that cold wind blow your cares away wash away sad eyes don't listen when you hear them say fall come on rise above it all don't listen when you hear them say fail but I can see in your eyes, you're ready to sail those sad eyes away "It's never over, she is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever"--Jeff Buckley |

Very nice! This could be a song also. It's nice that you are there for Sad Eyes. We all need a lift from friends when waves wash away our sand castles.  |

What you have here is a very powerful and uplifting fight song. This could definitely be set to music! Love it! "I know this love will tear me to pieces |

quote: Much power in your opening words, and so true. It's so easy to let go...and so hard to hang on. We don't get messages of encouragement often enough. Thank you for this one. Michael |
