    OVER THERE

    Over

    over there

    she and i began a sweet affair

    such a perfect pair

    i declare

    yes i do

     

    the concierge

    lead us to our room

    a honeymoon

    suite designed for bride and groom

    a respite 

    from the mid winter gloom

    when i hold her in my arms

     

    i laughed  

    when she wondered aloud 

    whether a chair was red or maroon

    and she smiled in that special way

    that first took my breath away

    i admit she stole my heart

    at the very start

    since we met we have never been apart

    and to think

    it all began on a lark

     

    somewhere

    over there

     

    the  night we met

    began rather swell

    my friends and i attended a cabaret

    at a mid town hotel

    and when she walked into the room

    she took my breath away

    yes she did

     

    how should i approach her

    what exactly should i say

    what words should i use to convey

    i really didnt have a clue

    until 

    you belong to me was played 

    by donny hathaway

     

    so i used no preamble

    or lyrical bouquet

    obeyed

    absolutely none of the rules

    from the tried and tired 

    players school

    and soon her initial caution

    was overruled

    when she and i danced 

    by the pool

     

    somewhere

    over  there

     

    what  began

    as a rather innocent  flirt

    between two somewhat

    reclusive and private introverts

    became a conversation

    in detail 

    of love and hurt

    the trials

    the trevails

    yes indeed

     

    the pitfalls

    one cannot avert

    the lying and betrayal 

    that tends to disconcert

    we talked all through the night

    as the waiters served wine 

    and dessert

     

    i wave goodnight 

    to our favorite hotel clerk

    as she and i walk arm in arm

    so happy

    so alone

    no stress or ringing phones

    just the mingling 

    of perfume and cologne

    me and my darling

    sweet  cymone

    with passion as our chaperone

    making love all day and night

     

    somewhere

    over there
