Mary Lou

Oh Mary Lou
I’m so glad I know you.
I haven’t a clue
why I admire you.
Everything you do
makes me want you more.
You are someone I adore.
Would life be worth living for
if I didn’t see you anymore?
There’s one thing I implore:
Please don’t ever leave me.
You’re the one I want to see.
You set my soul free.
I want you beside me
until eternity.
