Lakeside Lovers

Down by the lake On a warm Summer’s night Two lovers stand hand in hand While the moon shines so bright The boy leans over, To whisper in her ear, “There’s nowhere I would rather be Than with you right now, right here.” The girl then turns, And replies to him, “How can you be so happy, When things are so grim?” The boy had one week The doctor said today “I can’t do anything. All we can do is pray” “It’s simple,” said the boy In a very relaxed tone “With you I’m not sad. With you, I’m at home.” The girl smiles a little With tears in her eyes. The night is very late, And he says, “Time flies.” He drives her home. They kiss goodnight. She watches him go, ‘Til he is out of sight. At home the boy thinks About the life he had. He thinks of the girl, And falls asleep glad.
