Xanadu

A little girl named Xanadu

With little fingers, little toes,

And beautiful eyes like you.

Pink and beautiful little lips

That mimic what you say-

Repeating incorrectly with a lisp.

Light hair that falls in curls

Just along her ears-

Did I tell you I love the idea?

Of a little girl just like you?

Not a single thing like me.

A beautiful little girl-

As perfect as perfect could be.

I wish that I could tell you now,

But I'm afraid it's too late.

This dream will be kept locked-

It will be kept locked far away.

Where memories are only memories-

And proves the sad truth that they fade-

I wish I could tell you

Just how beautiful that I see

Our beautiful little Xanadu-

As beautiful as she could be.

But I'm afraid that I lost you too soon-

Too soon for me to say

That our little girl will be perfect.

She would have been as perfect as you are to me-

A little girl in a little world-

As perfect as perfect could be.

Little nose and bright eyed

Just as you always imagined she would be.

A perfect little girl that I had hoped

Would be blessed to you and me.
