Happy VD all you JPF'rs! OK, so this isn't really a love song. It's more like an anti-love song, a love gone wrong song, a bitter, jilted lover song. Yeah! All that. In my defense, it's another older one. I don't know as I would have written it quite like this today. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

JAMES DEAN EYES
©Ricki E. Bellos

The rugged beauty of a hard life
Bad love, serious strife
James Dean eyes, a dangerous grin
It's a face that will pull you in

When they say beauty's skin deep
You think you know what that means
Once past what the eye can see
Nothing's quite what it seems

Night cloaked in black velvet robe
That's the color of his heart and soul
He'll scatter diamond dust like stars above
Don't be fool enough to think it's love

When they say beauty's skin deep
You'll come to know what that means
Once past what the eye can see
Nothing's quite what it seems

Raven tattooed on a pearl sky
You still see it when you close your eyes
Cold, raw, bitter day
Dressed in black as he flew away

When they say beauty's skin deep
You finally know what that means
Once past what the eye can see
Nothing's quite what it seems

Now you say beauty's skin deep
And know exactly what that means
Once past what the eye could see
He was nothing like James Dean
