A Glance

A Glance

I saw it in a second's glance,
a careless parting look,
a second isn't all that long;
one second's all it took.

There's something in a woman's eyes
that leads a man astray,
the promise of a lover's kiss,
forever and a day.

The eyes will hold the mystery,
lips will tell the tale,
the earlobes and the neckline;
never seem to fail.

Then the fragrance of her perfume
can melt an icy heart,
as she leads you on a merry chase,
you're smitten from the start.

In the end you'll always love her
though you had the chance;
to leave behind her tempting look,
in one second of a glance.
