|
The old wolf sniffs the summer breeze |
|
And dreams about his youth |
|
For the sight of skirts above the knees |
|
Turns his hardboiled brain to tears |
|
And the scent of honey in the tree |
|
Whets an old sweet tooth |
|
The pretty girls go strolling by |
|
I smile at them and heave a sigh |
|
And think of all the things |
|
I've missed |
|
And all the pretty girls |
|
I've never kissed |
|
They smile from field of daffodils |
|
They wave from high and windy hills |
|
In secret places by the sea |
|
The girls |
|
I've never kissed still wait for me |
|
All the girls whose names |
|
I can't recall |
|
Their faces haunt me still |
|
All the pretty girls |
|
I've never kissed |
|
And never will |
|
The girls of spring, the girls of fall |
|
The girls of summer most of all |
|
If only time did not exist |
|
If only I could catch that boat |
|
I always missed |
|
I'd go back and kiss |
|
All the pretty girls |
|
I've never kissed |
