IN ORDER TO BE SECURE

 

In order to be secure

I have to be sure

That our love will last

And expectations passed

Before I can agree

To give everything of me

MY BROWN EYED FRAU

 

Where are you now

My brown eyed frau

It breaks my heart

Now that we’re apart

Sugar sweet brunette

My dearest Margaret

Wherever you might be

Come back to me

A SPECIAL WORD FOR A SPECIAL GIRL

 

A “special” word for a “special” girl

Modesty prevents you saying its true

But if the word “special” didn’t exist

It would have to be invented just for you

WHEN I PLIGHT MY TROTH

I don’t understand even though

I wear my heart on my sleeve

When I plight my troth

You find it so difficult to believe

 

I have never hidden my feelings

But I would not have plighted

Should I, for a moment, thought

They would not have been requited

OH FOR A SIGHT OF YOUR SMILE

 

Oh for a sight of your smile

Soothing as chamomile

To ease away my frown

Picking me up when I’m down

WHEN I FIRST LAID EYES ON HER

 

When I first laid eyes on her

It was with music in my heart

And poetry in my soul

It was she who possessed the love

Which she brought into my life

A love she generously shared

And then I fell in love with her

SHE WAS ALWAYS MORE TO ME

 

She was always more to me

Than just a wonderful wife

She was quite simply

The rhyme and hue of life
