Orange Blossom Lady

Little Johnny met a girl

Sweet as orange blossom honey

She made him feel that the entire world

Was joyful, bright and sunny

 

And just a glance was all it took

But he dare not tell her so

For this lady’s wisdom, always right

Told her to take it slow

 

So they sat and talked about everything

Long into the lonely night

She took the empty darkness of his soul

And filled it up with light

 

Smart she was and pretty too

And kind and caring and wise

He could sit and stare forever

Into her beautiful green eyes

 

But when she touches his hand and kisses his lips

He would hold her like a prize

She would fit so well into his arms

Just the perfect size

 

Then Johnny would have himself a girl

To whom he could give his love

And thank the powers, whoever they are

For this gift from up above
