Sweet E
There are times when you’re talking to me
And I should be listening
There are times when you’re talking to me
I don’t hear a thing
If you take a look at me
You will note the glassy look I have in my eye
I’m not looking through you
I’m lookin’ at you
And I wonder in amazement, thinking,
“My you’re pretty!”
And the words you say just slip right past me
Such a pity.
There are times when you’re walking with me,
Hand in hand along the street
In the midst of our reverie
I can’t help but note
Every guy that walks past us
Is checkin’ you out surreptitiously.
You don’t seem to notice
And I just smile inside
And I wonder in amazement thinking,
“My you’re pretty”
And I want to take you all the way to
Quebec City
There are times when you’re talking to me
And I should be listening
There are times when you’re talking to me
I don’t hear a thing
I don’t hear a thing
I’m glad you wear my ring.
The cover is a painting by Tanya Loviz from Australia. We have one of her prints hanging in our house. She was kind enough to give me permission to use it. My friend, and graphic artist, Thelma Freeman, of Napa, California put the whole thing together. She did a great job.
