To All the Men I'Ve Loved Before

inspired by Julio Eglesias song March 9, 2016 Composed by Joan May Donnelly Ellis To all the men I've loved before Who found their way to my heart's door, I'm grateful to you, I've learned a thing or two, From all the men I've loved before. To all the men I once embraced, Whose splendid presence graced, My home with abundance of sheer delight, And many a romantic night, I'm glad I gave my heart, To all the men I've loved before. The sea persisted in her calling, And the temptation was so strong, Not knowing where I was going, Desiring the unsung song. To all the men who sojourned with me awhile. I remember and smile. You were such a charming guest, And I wish life's best, To all the men I've loved before. To all the men who pampered me, With showers of admiration and luxury, Cuddles beneath each starry night, Sipping on wine growing giggly tight, Such were the men I've loved before, To all the men who held my hand, As we travelled through Adventure Land, Who forgave when I was cross, Comforted when I was lost, I shall not toss away a single gem, Left me from these men. In that moment when souls unite in harmony, I've soared with bliss in places of rarity, Tasted the nectar of sweet ecstasy, On eternity's golden shore. Time passes and all things change, Circumstances force one to rearrange, As youth evolves to maturity true, I'm reminded of yesterdays I knew, I will waltz until life here is through. I won't live with regret, nor forget, The rendezvous, au revoir To all the men I've loved before.
