Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - Poem For My Little Lady Lyrics

Kenny Rogers & The First Edition Lyrics

"Poem For My Little Lady"

She's young and soft and kind
And she deserves a whole lot better
Than a guitar-picking drifter
Who never gave a damn

And if loving me is all
She ever wants, I'm gonna let her
And I'll try to be the kind of man
She thinks I am

She makes those little kitten sounds
And trembles when I love her
She makes me feel so big and strong, and mean
She whispers how she cannot wait to be my baby's mother
She's the only glimpse of God I've ever seen

Her mama should have warned her
Never take up with a poet
For poets travel rocky roads
In search of truth and life

I'm the only blemish on
Her virgin soul but she don't know it
And I thank the Lord she's lying gentle
By my side tonight

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

I thank God she's lying gentle by my side tonight
