Love forever

I liked this girl who was beautiful and little shy

She lived in a house by the riverside in downtown

Blown by her smile, sunned by her looks, I said to me, I am in love

She used to wear a blue satin ribbon on her hair

Mostly I saw her in white shoes and scarlet red skirt

She looked like an angel who came down to tell me what’s love

With every move and beautiful smile, she stole my heart for ever

One day I asked her to come with me to the dance floor

Using her hands, she said she couldn’t hear what I said

She was dumb and was deaf so couldn’t know what I told her

Still with her smile, still with her charm, she stole my heart forever.

One day she came to me, held my hands, and her eyes spoke

She pulled me to dance floor and started to dance by my side

Laughing and holding her I danced with her for the whole night

In that night, the moonlit night, we pledged to live together

Six decade passed by she gave me a beautiful life

She was my Mary my beautiful friend  and my wife

When she was dying, she took my hands close to her heart

Still with the charm, her eyes spoke to me, I kissed her for one last time

Now in my solitude, there comes those sweet memories

To help me to sail through the rest of my lonely life

Mary your sweet smile is still charming me in my mind

Loving you dear, my only love, I love you for ever
