Let me start over

Ruben Beaubrun 1976 (St. Lucia)



Let me start over again so I can see your smile and not your tears.

Let me start over again like a new day that slowly allows the sun in.

Let me be like the sun rise with you on a morning and kiss you on an evening.

Let me start all over again like the dawn of a new day that brings in all the goodness

Let me be like your sunset so in can meet you where the sun meets the ocean so I can listen to you speak of your day.

Let me start over again
