It’s summer and not going away
This cool hot Summer
We’re ready to play
Me and the babe
Gonna stay at the beach
Get that tan
Eat a peach
Hang with our neighbors
That’s the plan
Lemonade on ice
Burgers by the bay
Ice cream I predict
Lots of come what may
No plans except having fun
Me and the babe
Consider it done

Is it possible to be too beautiful, she wondered
After the effect she had on men?
Did they love her for who she was
Or her looks which took them aback?

A dilemma real
She was born that way
One with a true heart

Beauty is a flickering candle
An evanescent light
Occasionally a hindrance
But usually it turns out right
Yes, she’s a high paid model
But graduated with honors
Her degree in business
She’s paid fashionably
With covers on Elle and Vogue
Deserved, you’ll agree

She concentrates now on finding her man
To having kids, a must be
Some very fine candidates are pursuing her
She plays wait and see
For one will rise above the rest
She will then commit
To a love so beautiful
Never to quit

Paris in the rain
Our tete a tete
That rendezvous
Just me and you
Our date with fate
A melody to remember
So melancholy
Paris in the rain
Just you and me

Just you and me
I thought we would be
The answer to what is love
Your kiss made me tremble
As we did assemble
Memory upon memory
Smitten by the kitten
How we did glisten
Wearing tears of joy

Now when it rains
To myself I explain
That love is a mystery
Sometimes there’s a solution
Sometimes just confusion
As for you and me
I remember our rain
Our Paris walk
Our Paris talks
And what was not meant to be

No one has ever cared for me quite the way you do
You see that I stay healthy as all the way you coo
How much you love me, that I’m your very best friend
Yes you have really changed my life
For the better, for sure,
Thank you and amen

You softened up my grizzly life
I couldn’t bear loneliness much longer
Unaware that you were just around the corner
In spite of my sorry self you cozied up to me
Next thing we were dancing
The rest is history

It was worth the wait
Holding out for you
For no one has ever cared for me
Quite the way you do

It took so long to arrange that date
He stood her up the first time
As he had to operate
That’s a surgeon’s life
(She’s an MD too)
Sometimes you’re late
Finally, they got together
They watched zombie movies
Along with Indian food
At 3 AM, she turned to him and said
“Aren’t you gonna kiss me?”
Which he did
And now they’re wed

It’s a good morning
Good morning to you
Good morning to life
Good morning to all
A bright day ahead
Soon I’ll surprise
My lover and let her discover
That if we try
We’ll build her a future
A beautiful sigh
For today is the day
I’ll ask for her hand
Today is the day
When she’ll understand
How much I love her
That I always will
Today is the day
Today is a thrill

She’s awakening now
Those big bright eyes
Greet me with a smile
It’s a natural high
Hanging together
Hanging forever
Hanging today
For the rest of our lives

I’ve had a good life without you
But I’m still in a daze
Whenever I see you
And remember those days
When we were together
So amazed at the power of love
How it changed us both for the better
It was a long time ago
I’ve always loved you
I know you know
Every day since
And I’m not kidding about this
I’ve thought about you
I reminisce
That I miss your sweet voice
One so sincere
Our love was real
It won’t disappear
You’re happy, I know
A great family
I am too
The way it should be
It’s been so great to visit
You mean so much to me
