Michelle
Glen Wasson 1939 (Nebraska)
Michelle
Michelle, Michelle
The apple of my eye.
No other one caught my eye like you
No other caused a look.
You took away my breath at once
My heart it skipped a beat.
You turned this man into a boy
A teenage boy I am.
Some say I am a puppy dog
I follow you at will.
You have me wound around your finger
You lead me with your smile.
I am a happy camper
Some say a happy old man.
No matter what they call me
I'm yours with all my heart.
What could I say but thank-you
For being in my life.
For bringing joy and happiness
A smile upon my face.
Michelle, Michelle, I love your name
Tis always on my lips.
You read me as the book I am
The pages you do turn.
I wonder what it would be like
If we had met before?
But you had your life, I had mine
Would not have worked before.
We found each other here in Yuma
It must have been our fate.
Two ships passing in the night
We must have hit head-on.
Now living side by side we are
We cannot miss the other.
Thank-you for being my other one
Thank-you Michelle, thank-you.
