Just Me and You

(Sing to the tune of Close to You, by
the Carpenters)

Why, O, why this night has nary a clue
Yet, my darling how you always knew
Dream of the night is just me and you
Just me and you

Why, O, why stars up high zealously pry
When doting moon vies marigold skies
They love it too, the dream is so true
Just me and you

When so far you are, yet so close you feel
How earnestly whispers of longing plea
Unveil gently the missives of memories
Just you and me, sweet as can be, yearning to be

Why, O, why nightingales echo the tune
When song of the dawn robins croon
They love it too, the dream is so true
Just me and you

When so far you are, yet so close you feel
How earnestly whispers of longing plea
Unveil gently the missives of memories
Just you and me, sweet as can be, yearning to be

Why, O, why this night has nary a clue
Yet, my darling how you always knew
The song of the dawn is just me and you
Just me and you

The song of the dawn is just me and you
Just me and you

Ah, just me and you
La, just me and you
Ah, just me and you
La, just me and you

Vijay, The gifts come back tenfold in a life lived well. Though sad to think perhaps, life's best seemed to elude Miss Karen. A fine tribute to those memories many hold dear in your Lyric. -Richard
