Loveliest Girl

Loveliest Girl

by David B. Swanger


Into this world, heart all a'flutter
Came I a'looking for face of a queen...
For soul-mate, lover, friend - and I met
The prettiest girl I'd ever seen.

First there was smiling and just being near -
Then talking and searching the soul of my pet.
At last she came close and I touched - oh, I kissed
the sweetest girl I'd ever met.

Sanguine face could not hide soul's delight
So we loved, and made up for the time we had missed.
My love-mate was safe at my side, and I married
The loveliest girl I'd ever kissed.
