With Wily Post as pilot they sped their way,
Up in the sky above amid the realms of love.
And as they reached the portals of Paradise,
The gates were open wide, and so they flew inside.
The angels wanted humor in Paradise.
That?s why Will Rogers went to fly.
(Dedicated to the memory of Will Rogers. Written on the day that he died.) 1935
Darling. I?m so in love with you.
Darling. You arc a dream come true.
I know the reason why,
The stars twinkle in the sky,
The breeze sings a lullaby at eventide.
Darling. You took possession of my heart. Darling, I hope we two will never part.
But if we do the memory of you will linger on; Darling, because I love you so.
She must have been a beauty,
She still has charm and grace
This quaint old-fashioned lady in lavender and lace.
She?s just like Dresden China, so fragile and so fine.
She must have been a heart-break, once upon a time.
She makes a pretty picture, as she rocks to and fro, Dreaming dreams of by gone days, in the after glow,
She must have been a beauty, she still has charm and grace. This quaint old-fashioned lady in lavender and lace.
DARLING
THE LITTLE OLD LADY IN LAVENDER AND LACE
