Daughter of Shillong

Have I told you I love you?
Have I said it enough?
You make it smooth sailing
When the seas are rough

Have I told you I need you?
You are my special friend
You bring the sunshine to me
When the rain will never end

I follow you to shillong
The Scotland of the east
To the state of Meghalaya
The home of the khasis

Do you how cool you are?
You’re like the ocean breeze
There’s a magic about you
And which everyone sees

Do you know how beautiful you are
Can’t find the words to say
Your beauty captures my heart’
And stole the words way

Walking on Wards Lake
And then I hold her hand
Put a ring on her fingers
Just the way I had it plan

A diamond ring in my pocket
I kept it for so long
And if she said yes today
Will marry her in Shillong

She is like Cleopatra
The queen of the Nile
She can change you life
With Just one of her smile

From Rhino Heritage Museum
Through police bazaar
To Lady Hydari Park
In the heart of Meghalaya.

Every where she goes 
Happiness follows her around
She’s just a beautiful daughter 
Of the city of Shillong

Just want to tell her
She got a beautiful soul
And I can feel her kindness
From the other side of the world
