Poem For My Little Lady — текст песни (Kenny Rogers)

Poem for my little lady

She`s young and soft and kind
And she deserves a whole lot better
than a guitar picking drifter
who never gave a damn.

And if loving me is all
she ever wants some gonna let her
And I`ve tried to be kind of man
She thinks I am.

She makes those little kitten sounds
and ( that ) trembles when I love her
she makes me feel so bad and strong in me
She whispers how she can not wait
to be my baby`s mother
She`s the only glimpse of God
I`ve ever seen.

Her mama sure had warned her
Never take out with a poet
For poets travel rocky roads
In search of truth and life.

I`m the only blemish on
Her virgin soul but she don`t know it
and I thank the Lord she`s lying gentle
by my side tonight.
