Analysis of Expression
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
You say it all in your expression
Alright, with the raise of your brow
What, with the raise of your eyes now
Yes, with a quick smile
Maybe, with a half smile
Why, with cross brow and hands on hips
Surprise, with the pursing of your lips
I love you, with a stare and a blink
But you say you know, when I don't know what to think
But I don't know how...
You know me better than I know myself
