The Sundress
She's got a perfect smile
her body an hour glass
A beautiful girl
in a beautiful sundress
And perhaps it's just the dress
that gives her that right
the right of perfection
to my imperfect sight
A kind of beauty
she doesn't try to show
a kind of beauty
I will never know
Silly to dream
of what I'll never be
of a dress that will never
look that good on me
But why can't I wear that dress?
That summer came with it a personal promise
3 seasons and 60 pounds at last
I am the beautiful girl
In the beautiful sundress
