Her Song

T. H. Pankey
I met a girl from St. Tropez
She was as bright as bright is day
And all the while all I could say
Was thank you God, if I may

She was a queen without a king
At least not one that could be seen
And there she was, my little girl, at seventeen

Most precious of precious things
On me now is where she clings
So happy it makes me, it makes me sing
As high as a gull on the wing

I met a girl from St. Tropez
She was as bright as bright is day
And all the while all I could say
Was thank you God, if I may

Her words unheard, her voice is clear
She has much to say but is mere
And just the other day, surprisingly, I felt her fear

The wind is good, sometimes it's bad
Still, there's no need for you to be scared
As good as it feels to be had
Assurance is from dad

I met a girl from St. Tropez
She was as bright as bright is day
And all the while all I could say
Was thank you God, if I may

    Tender, sensitive, like a gentle caressing breeze. Really enjoying reading. Left me with a warm and quiet feeling as if someone had placed their hand on my shoulder and gently whispered words of comfort.
