My Dear Paulette

Ah, my dear Paulette, your sweet smile I’ll not forget
Though thousands of miles have come between us
The memory of you lingers in my aching heart yet.
It was love at first sight when I met you on the bus
But I knew it when we snuggled closely as night fell
And there were few travelers left aboard, just us
Holding each other tightly, whispering…I cannot tell,
As miles rushed by, Paulette, we fell deeply in love
So at dawn, when you got off, it was for me pure hell.
Ah, my dear Paulette, your sweet smile I’ll not forget
The memory of you lingers in my aching heart yet.
