A Girl Like You
Lyrics, music, and performance by Abracadabra


I once knew a girl like you
She made me feel so blue
Every time I kissed her lips
My heartbeat went askew

Then she'd take me in the barn
and lay me in the hay
And tell me all her secret dreams
I'd listened to her say,...

When I grow up I'll marry
the husband of my dreams
she told me all her wishes
and the details of her themes
but I was never in her plans
to her, I was just a friend

A lowly lonesome cowboy
who's heart will never mend
she'll never know I loved her
I keep that secret penned

I once knew a girl like you
She made me feel so blue
Every time I kissed her lips
My heartbeat went askew

If only she had married me
I'd make her dreams come true
So kiss my lips and smile for me
but please don't make me blue

Let me share a secret
I think that you should know
I'd love to share my life with you
and be your loving beau

I'll tell you that I love you
and my words will all be true
I'll share with you my hopes and dreams
cuz you're included too

Oh yeah I really enjoyed this poem nice very nice.....

Love it

And thanks again for my banjo song

My girls listened and loved it!

your writing is music to the ears

Very good

Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments.

I almost forgot that I wrote this song already.

I just listened to it myself. Not too bad for someone who's just starting to pick up the banjo again after many decades of not having played it. I'm, impressed.

Owl have to keep this up.

I need to find other people to play music with!

Anyway, thanks to all who took a listen!

Indeed Abra!
