You picked for me a "dandeline." A girl of five, a boy of seven. I was yours and you were mine. Then again when you turned nine Racing ahead through tall grasses You picked for me a "dandeline." And kissed me for the first time. Standing in a field of yellow I was yours and you were mine. As grown adults we'd dance and dine. Memories of childhood still clear in my mind. You picked for me a "dandeline." But, she was there all the time, To steal you away, not even consider- I was yours and you were mine. My heart withered like a flower on the vine. Until, today, when I opened to find- You picked for me a "dandeline." I was yours and you were mine. Note: The correct spelling is dandelion. However, "dandeline" is what we called them when we were kids. |
