Mystery Lover

in the green, green garden,
under the blue, blue sky,
did you throw me a rose
on the sly?

on the slow slow river,
in the wooden log boat,
did you sneak in for me 
a love note?

in the loud, loud thunder,
of stormy, stormy night,
did you send me signal,
with flash light?

during hot hot coffee,
in the greek restaurant,
was it you who left a 
gold pendant?

in my deep, deep slumber,
I dream and think of you,
wish you would just tell me
“I love you!”
