I knew a lovely little thing
with gorgeous green eyes,
a trance I got lost in,
and the warmth of her smile.
She made me take a detour
away from my vanity,
saw past the flesh and sin
to the angel within.

I knew a lovely little thing
who lost her pride,
warmth filled her heart,
and yet so did I.
What the flowers bring
with a sweet of a hymn
to make this man cry.

I knew a lovely little thing
with gifts that bring,
Optimism & hope,
for dramatic cope,
And one night
with the fireflies,
She was gone from sight.
