SHE KNEW WHAT HOME WAS

Suddenly I saw her
Wanted to be with her
Even in a fog
She would shine
Flowers had a fragrance
Enhanced by her presence
She loved her music
Could dance magically
With a real dancer
She led me on the dance floor
Told me what to do
Made me look good
People said how nice we looked
She liked me to sing
Or at least said she did
I was no Frankie
But she said I would do
Sometimes she would play
Danny Boy on the baby grand
I would sing it through
Then ask for more
I’ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen
Or My Blue Heaven
We had our favorites
She had the crazy rhythm
Was a real doozy
I still love her so
There were no goodbye blues
No sweet horns played
Just kind words
Then Amazing Grace and
How Great Thou Art
Then it was over and
Now just the memories
If I could be with you for just one hour
I would tell you how much I love you
And thank you just for being you
