The bell tower

Strikes the hour

On another day

But I remember

Just out of nowhere

Young and slender

She appears from somewhere

Corduroy jacket

And leather satchel

Belt with brackets

Pants with denim patches

I clock the minute

With her in it

We were thick as thieves

She's my protector

Bad vibes rejector

Wise crack injector

Bumblebee inspector

She's my defender

For as long as I can remember

Fragile and tender

Small bird befriender

She's my protector

Bad vibes rejector

Wise crack injector

Bumblebee inspector

She's my defender

For as long as I can remember

Fragile and tender

Small bird befriender

Those times

It just hit me

They'll forever stay

Here with me
