For Monique
Sweet lady, I must apologize,
For I never, ever, talked with you.
But the truth is – I’m in paradise
since the first time I laid eyes on you.
You just took me straight into paradise
with those beautiful eyes, so blue.
Sweet lady, hear my confession –
I’ve been afraid of what came over me.
Never have felt before this strange sensation
for a woman, enchanted of me.
You brought to my heart sweet inspirations
of happiness and sympathy.
I’m fond of the way you dress, girl,
softened by your curling brown hair.
I’ve watched each move and every gesture,
but I didn’t dare to tell…
Sweet lady, be my companion
for the time to come, night and day.
Now that you rule my heart, I do surrender,
sweet lady, don’t lead me astray.
Found my Queen of Hearts, warm and tender,
through you, love has found its way.
