The girl that I love
\nby cricketjeff on May 21, 2010.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nAn innocent fool when she captured my heart
\nWith a careless resort to the femme fatale’s art
\nShe remoulded my dreams in a momentary smile
\nThat was three-quarters honest and all the rest guile
\nFrom that moment on I’ve been happy and free
\nThough she lives for herself she is always perfection for me<\/p>\n
I would walk across fire to be sat by her side
\nI would offer the stars just to see them denied
\nShe takes with both hands but she gives in a sigh
\nAnd there’s nobody else who could teach me to fly
\nWhen I look in her eyes I know who I can be
\nShe may not be mine but she’s always perfection for me<\/p>\n
She’s the bluebells of Spring and the maples of Fall
\nAnd a kite dancing high on a midsummer squall
\nShe is roses all Summer and pure winter snow
\nAnd a priceless Vermeer that is never on show
\nShe acts like she’s twelve but she looks twenty three
\nAnd however she treats me she’s always perfection to me<\/p>\n
There are days when I think that I’ll leave her alone
\nShe’ll return to the nest and she’ll find I have flown
\nBut I know if I’m honest I can’t run away
\nTill the sun turns to ash I am certain to stay
\nI am hooked like a fish no return to the sea
\nShe’s the girl that I love and she’s always perfection for me<\/p>\n
