Turning to my left, the news was grim

I had no wish to talk to him

He was loud, and thought he mattered

Turning to my right was just as bad

She was diamonds, but sad

And badly needed to be flattered

If, however, I look straight ahead

Past the bottles, white and red

An angel sat at dinner

When I caught her eye, this angel smiled

I was charmed, I was beguiled

I knew I had to win her

All at once, my eyes turned steamy blue

I was handsome, six-foot-two

A Grecian god prepared for action

Convеrsation stopped on every sidе

Forty mouths fell open wide

I was now the main attraction

I ignored them all, their protests, too

I had only thoughts of you

As I leapt across the table

Swept you off your feet and through the door

And, having worked it out before

Took you to my private stable

I love you, I cried as we rode away

I love you, you sighed in your perfect way

On we flew, chasing a golden [?]

All we desired would be [?]

When we reached my castle on the hill

All the world was hushed and still

Save the silver of your laughter

I could tell without a word from you

That you felt the magic, too

We'd be happy everafter

I love you

How very real it seems

You love me

One of my crazy dreams

Take me now

I replied, Of course

But first

Let me off the horse

Then we spoke of all we'd left behind

Would our host and hostess mind

That we'd left the party early?

Chasing [?] such matters from our heads

We fell towards the bed

Then you said your name was Shirley

Shirley!
