Peppermint kisses
  
It's been a long, long time,
              but in your eyes I can see it fade 
              Like mist on the mirror, that I taped with photographs 
               
              You & I making faces, I'd write your name in steam 
              I remember, blue towels and tiles 
              The yellow toothbrush was mine … 
               
              Peppermint kisses everyone 
              When I say cheese, now there'll be fun! 
              Peppermint kisses everyone 
              I brushed my teeth now where's the fun … 
               
              It's been a long long time, but in my eyes you will see 
              They took away from me, what I had promised would be yours 
              (promised would be yours), oh yes, I'm happy now 
              That I've agreed, choice had to be narrower 
              That you'll remember, brooding quiet and tears 
              As the silence hissed in my ears, and I could not explain
