Pretty Things

I'll tell you pretty things my dear
Every single day
There's so very many pretty things
That to you I could say

Be ready though this could take long
And it might never end
You see I love you very much
And with you I would spend

Days and weeks and months and years
As many as I've got
Telling you these pretty things
So you'd forget me not

No repeated things you'd hear
The well of them runs deep
Each one a bouquet by itself
To ponder before sleep

And hopefully you'll dream of me
While you're in the land
Where those in love are frolicking 
While walking hand in hand

So sleep now baby, sleep and rest
And know that my heartstrings
Are tuning up for when you wake
To tell you pretty things
