The One

by Vernon Waring

 

I held her in my arms

And kissed her tenderly

I knew our love would last

Throughout eternity

She was the sweetest girl

So lovely, fair and fun

I blessed the day we met

I knew she was the one

And then she fell asleep

This angel I adored

A smile graced her face

As she began to snore

The sound would wake a dead man

So eerie was her roar

I could only ponder

Where is the exit door?

I thought she was so special

This girl was mine for keeps

But that could only happen

If she never fell asleep

It was our final date that night

I said "farewell" with poise

I'll never forget my one true love

...Or that unbelievable noise
