Song CategoryYVONNEShe gives me what she can, 'cause she knows that I'm a man--she's that way...She could never say goodbye, if she does I know she'll cry--she's that way.When I'm with that little girl I'm lost inside another world,and I can see...When I kiss and hold her tight the future seems to be so rightfor her and me.I call her name...she can't hear me...we are far apart, but she's in my heart...Yvonne.When I see her I am glad and when I leave her I am sad--perhaps it shows...When I dream of her at night I just can't help but think it's right--God only knows.When I tell here 'I love you', she tells me that she loves me too--and I conceive...When I'm with her once again I know that I will ask her thento stay with me.She calls my name...I can't hear her...she is far from me but still I can see...Yvonne.And when at last I'm free by my side will be...Yvonne.Tuy Hoa 28 Oct 1969 Written August 29th, 2001 © on Aug 28 2001 04:49 PM PST   0 • 8
