Lights turned down low, sleepily glowing over people-filled
tables set for a banquet.
A spotlight popped out upon a stage, revealing a celebrity
I remember when of an age of six.
Red Skeleton, a lifetime friend, appeared before us all,
catching sight of him filled me with childhood love and
respect.
Many nights I dreamed of telling jokes, because I wanted to
grow up and be filled with laughter just like him.
Always watching all his programs, hoping to get more than a
glimpse of him - I wanted a kiss on the cheek - I was only six!
Red Skeleton, a good and gentle man - I would dearly love to
just sit and talk with him, because my love could be fulfilled
as I give it now back to him.
A childhood sweetheart tho' he never knew of me, we've grown up together - sort of - and now I'd like him to know me too.
Red Skeleton, I have always loved you and now you can love
me too!
