Her

Tonight is my night 

     and I'll tell you why

When she's in sight, 

     when she's passing by

Quiet your step, 

     don't kill my surprise

A lifetime of prep, 

     of severing ties

I'm ready now, 

     she's ready too

I'll show you how 

     when she is in view

Be quiet and still, 

     I hear her sweet voice

It gives me a chill, 

     I've made my choice

It's time to move, 

     here she is now

Just be real smooth, 

     no sweat off the brow

Today is the day, 

     I'm taking her home

No more delay, 

     no more being alone

We'll just fall in step, 

     a little behind

Darkness will set, 

     she'll be rendered blind

She's taking a turn, 

     not her usual route

Can't help but yearn 

     for a new run about

This alley is new, 

     not been here before

Once we are through, 

     can't hide anymore

"So glad you're here, 

     now you can stop!"

Her voice loud & clear 

     made my heart hop.

"It's loaded and ready, 

     do as I say!"

"Now easy, be steady, 

     we'll do it your way."

"I've waited for this, 

     been watching you,

I just can't resist 

     and my love is true."

What did she say? 

     I must be confused.

What game does she play? 

     I'm not amused!

"I don't understand 

     the things I just heard,

I must demand, 

     you explain your word!"

"I'm not insane, 

     you'll think I am

Then you'll try to blame 

     me for this jam.

I have watched you, 

     I know who you are

I'll give you a clue, 

     just get in the car."

Too shocked to say no, 

     I do as she asks

Where will we go? 

     Do my best to relax

This day took a turn, 

     I can't deny that

Anxious to learn 

     whose next up to bat

"You won't leave my side, 

     soon you'll agree

You're here for the ride, 

     forever with me."

One hand on the wheel, 

     one on the gun

Her words make me reel, 

     think I have won

"You don't need a threat, 

     I won't run away

The gun makes me sweat, 

     I swear I won't stray."

She laughs like a loon, 

     speeding along

It's soon to be noon, 

     she plays me a song.

That night we were wed 

     in a very small church

She took me to bed, 

     my heart did a lurch

I'm hers there's no doubt, 

     how I want it to be

What life is about 

     having her next to me.
