MY EVERYTHING

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
