The Gal

I've fallen in love with a girl with a smile

That has made my dry eyes cry

I've fallen in love with a girl like the sky

A bright light, a silver reflected sky

And when I try to tell her what I feel inside

She looks at me and shows that wonderful smile

And the words, all the words I know

Suddenly retreat in throat and die

I'm thinking of her all night long

Lying awake in my bed

Wonder how she's sleeping softly
