To Know Her
Dedicated to Paulette
To Know Her Was to Love Her
YOU REALLY HAD TO KNOW HER
SO LET ME SHARE
THE THINGS I KNOW
HER HAIR WAS BLACK
AS NIGHTTIME SKIES
SO LONG AND THICK IT FLOWED
HER SMILE COULD LIGHT
YOUR DARKEST DAYS
IT'S WARMTH
COULD SOOTHE YOUR SOUL
LINGERING LONG AFTER SHE LEFT
YOUR SIDE
PULLING YOU IN FROM THE COLD
AND WHEN
YOU WHERE SAD OR LONELY
YOU KNEW YOU HAD A FRIEND
SHE WIPED AWAY TEARS
WITH HER LAUGHTER
TURNING YOUR FROWN
INTO A GRIN
FROM LITTLE GIRLS
TO HIGH SCHOOL
THROUGH MARRIAGE
AND BEYOND
LAUGHTER, FEAR, TRIALS
AND TEARS
THE LIST GOES ON AND ON
WITH EACH PASSING YEAR
AND PASSING TEAR
I THINK OF HER EACH DAY
YES
TO KNOW HER IS TO
LOVE HER
WHAT MORE
CAN I SAY
