They said you were slow and languorous That live or die 'twas all the same for you Untutored, they were the swine before the pearls And were ignorant of the coals that fanned your passion I was one of the daring few that knocked at your door The lithe girl in you  was always there for the seeing You had a shape made in heaven and a smile to match And your blithe ways said nothing mattered that much We learned much about the body and the force of allure We filled our gaps with information as you filled your cups We became clumsier and more oafish as your grace peaked But we always knew how to worship your form and beauty The years went by and we all grew up and spread afield Try as I did to search high and low, of you I found no trace Yet with ease I found your pretty face in the clouds of time And the rain wept your name and kept it showering Now the relentless years have gone swiftly past somehow And pretty little girls and bashful boys have grown old Is this you with the fading sight and the tremulous voice? 'Tis no matter, I know how to bring back that lovely lass So, no matter what, you'll always be that voluptuous beauty I don't see your spindly legs nor mind your frequent lapses They don't know what they missed, these modern types: Love with the taste of spring water that bubbled out of you Into the cupped palms of my doting heart that sang a duet With the crescendo notes of your  ***** and the quiver Of the enchanted world sitting upon your dancing behind These enduring images never fade or melt away Thus, dearest God's masterpiece, you'll always be my girl And I the boy electrified by your articulate eloquence Ignore them when they call you a hag and a witch They know not the feel of the bliss that never goes away

You Will Always Be My Girl (And I Will Always Be Your Boy)
They said you were slow and languorous That live or die 'twas all the same for you Untutored, they were the swine before the pearls And were ignorant of the coals that fanned your passion I was one of the daring few that knocked at your door The lithe girl in you  was always there for the seeing You had a shape made in heaven and a smile to match And your blithe ways said nothing mattered that much We learned much about the body and the force of allure We filled our gaps with information as you filled your cups We became clumsier and more oafish as your grace peaked But we always knew how to worship your form and beauty The years went by and we all grew up and spread afield Try as I did to search high and low, of you I found no trace Yet with ease I found your pretty face in the clouds of time And the rain wept your name and kept it showering Now the relentless years have gone swiftly past somehow And pretty little girls and bashful boys have grown old Is this you with the fading sight and the tremulous voice? 'Tis no matter, I know how to bring back that lovely lass So, no matter what, you'll always be that voluptuous beauty I don't see your spindly legs nor mind your frequent lapses They don't know what they missed, these modern types: Love with the taste of spring water that bubbled out of you Into the cupped palms of my doting heart that sang a duet With the crescendo notes of your  ***** and the quiver Of the enchanted world sitting upon your dancing behind These enduring images never fade or melt away Thus, dearest God's masterpiece, you'll always be my girl And I the boy electrified by your articulate eloquence Ignore them when they call you a hag and a witch They know not the feel of the bliss that never goes away
