Let Me Call You Sweetheart

Just a little mush. LOL

Let Me Call You Sweetheart   Let Me Call You Sweetheart The sun was slowly fading As he docked their boat upon the shore Its crimson now playing with moonbeams As she took his hand once more She was tonight a vision of pure beauty Dressed all in ivory and white lace Her hair of lustrous color With every strand in perfect place His extended arm was taken As they strolled along a white stone path Paper lanterns lit their passage Willow's bent to greet them as they passed Just ahead awaited a white gazebo Magnificent in the splendor of its day Set amidst the beauty of pink roses A swing from an arbor swayed Whoo-ooh-ooh~ Whoo ooh In the distance far away A dove called to the evening For the stars to come out and play In the beauty of this setting Our young gent held a special plan He would ask for the hand of his beloved As they waltzed to the music of the band Now all seemed to be ready As the band began to play Music softly met the evening air As stars gave the night sky away Amidst a sea of colors Round and round all danced Couples dressed in their finest As all once did In years now long since past Excuse me dear for a minute There is something I must do I leave you but for a moment I will soon return to you He gathered all of his courage And to the leader of the band He whispered soft his vision For all that he had planned Excuse me folks a moment There is something That I must say I have a very special request From this young man today Then just as he requested The Waltz began to play Let Me Call You Sweetheart A favorite of the day I dedicate this waltz To you my friend And to your lady fair Go quickly While you have your courage She awaits just over there I love you my dear sweetheart Will you please become my bride You will always be my treasure If you will forever walk by my side He reached into his pocket While still on bended knee And placed the ring upon her finger My sweetheart Will you please marry me She looked lovingly upon him And brought him to his feet For so long now she had waited For her life to become complete He took his lovely lady Within his arms once more The crowd cheered And shouted blessings As they waltzed across Gazebo floor Many years have past now Since the band began to play Let Me Call You Sweetheart Remains still their song today Tomorrow will be fifty years A white gazebo again awaits Within my yard bordered by pink roses Another band will again begin to play Grandpa will bow to dear Grandma Asking are you still my lady fair Let Me Call You Sweetheart Will play sweet upon the evening air When this evening is over And they are snuggling As in so many nights before I just bet Grandpa will whisper to Grandma Sweetheart how about fifty more View All My Poems Feedback Welcomed   AspiringAngel Let Me Call You Sweetheart - The Mills Brothers
