Don’t tell me you don’t remember When I sat down next to you I knew it was all over Though you weren’t a baubles, Bangles and beads sort of girl You had the rhythm and There was no doubt that You wouldn’t let your love get cold You had me follow you home Just so I would know where you lived I still remember that night The moon was not quite full How strange it was and then You sealed our fate with a kiss How wonderful, but never mind What a woman is for If not to lead the way You were apples, peaches And cherries to me When you smiled I knew This was the real thing I took a deep breath of the country air It has a little magic floating with it I worked and you worked There would be no summer vacation But someday, one day soon I would find a ring for you What some said would be over Was just beginning and You never lost your touch You wanted a dozen children We made it half-way; that was fine Time marches on and one day The Doctor gave us a Bouquet of Blues He gave you months, even years That was good enough for you We made it through Two watermelon seasons and then The angels came and took you away Our merry-go-round time was over How bitter for me, my sweet one I still get the thrill, thinking of you Stanski April 11, 2020
