Analysis of Never Make Me Shed A Tear
Never make me shed a tear.
Only make me smile.
I want rose colored glasses. Gladness is my style.
Never make me face a loss.
Only make me win.
I want rose colored glasses. Gladness is my twin.
Never make me spot a mar.
Only make me pure.
I want rose colored glasses. Gladness is my lure.
Never make me hint a woe.
Only make me thrill.
I want rose colored glasses. Gladness is my drill.
Never make me feel a pain.
Only make me hoot.
I want rose colored glasses. Gladness is my suit.
Never make me see a death.
Only make me cheer.
I want rose colored glasses. Gladness is my gear.
