Why On Earth I Love Such a Man

Each night I whisper softly Why on earth I love such a man As you sleep quietly next to me Your eyes closed and mouth still Brings a smile upon mine I never anger when I am asked Why on earth I love such a man For I take no greater pleasure In thinking each of the ways I only name that of a fair few Aloud to those wondering ears Why on earth I love such a man As I could not give each pleasant thought To each passing of those people near Or shower them with ways The notion that they too need to know Why on earth I love such a man If they knew of that tender smile Or the soft kisses you place on my lips What could occur would be such a fear Why on earth I love such a man That any other woman could love If given the chance with your sweet ways Or laid upon these white cotton sheets So perhaps next time when I am asked Why on earth I love such a man I’ll keep my thoughts in my head And sit there with a grin upon my face For they will never know in which the ways Why on earth I love such a man
