Song for Becky

A lyrical love poem.

Song for  Becky

I've written love songs and ditties
About girls who were pretties,
But I must say I think you're the best.
Forget about Jenny, Mary or Penny
And Jeannie, and all of the rest.

I've held girls in moonlight
Some casually and some tight,
And kissed those that I felt were true.
But if I had the gall, I'd trade them all
If, Becky, I could but kiss you.

I could send you a flower
Each and every hour,
But I think that you will agree:
Though heaven-made, flowers just fade,
If only I could just send me.

Wish I could hold you tight
Hug you through the night,
Feel you close for a thousand more years.
If I was to woo you, I’m afraid I would lose you,
And that's one of my greatest fears.

I may never get to hold you
But at least now I've told you,
Because some things you just can't suppress.
Even if you don't care, my love is still there
Sweet Becky, I won't love you less.

So a love song and a ditty
For a girl who's so pretty,
And I'm sorry that it's long overdue.
Love can be tragic, but I hope this brings magic
Because Becky, this one’s for you.
