A Lovely Lady

I saw a vision just the other day

Strolling down the avenue, coming my way.

I had to stop and stare

As the sunbeam kissed her hair;

She was such a lovely lady,

Yes, she was such a lovely lady.

She looked at me and smiled as she passed by.

My heart started to flutter like a butterfly.

She went into the park and sat down.

I followed her like a crazy clown.

Sitting down beside her I asked, “What is your name?”

She looked at me as if this was a game.

I closed my eyes so I wouldn’t stare.

When I looked again she wasn’t there.

Where had she gone in that short a time?

That’s when a voice from Heaven spoke, “She’s mine.”

Looking up I saw a lovely lady.

Smiling from above was my lovely lady.
