Leonard Snow

I loved a maid as fair as summer, with sunrise in her hair
There lived no other in the world could in my heart compare
Her eyes were stars of midnight bliss, her laugh a meadow breeze
I would have done all that she asked, so quick was I to please
...

Yohoho and a bottle of rum
Have ye fill before the kraken comes
Juice em lemons and gobble em plums
lest the dang scurvy rots ye gums
...

See a penny, pick her up
and all the day you'll have good luck
If instead she makes you frown
place her gently upon the ground
...

From all I gather you do not even care
yet if by chance you wish to take a dare
Grant me an audience right now and here
to breathe sweet murmurs into your ear
...

I close my eyes and try to dream
of places we have been before
The times they end, and end too soon
I wish so dearly for many more
...

I've got a handful of stardust with your name on it
From summer night dances on our naked feet
We'd stomp the earth till the skies would shake
What a lovely din the comets would make
...

When I'm old and near the end
stay with me and understand
When my tongue has lost all taste
let not your whispers go to waste
...

Memories are tricky things
when all we have is now
We keep them in little boxes
arranged neatly in a pile
...

If you love someone
let them go
because only then
will you truly know
...

She knows it herself
and he'll be the first to confess,
that he's not what she had in mind.
But life's a tangle,
...

There's this girl on the bus
that I take in the morning
head against the window
wide awake yet dreaming
...

I sincerely wish
I could read your mind
Please give me a second
I'm trying to find
...

I think that love
is neither deaf nor blind
nor foolish nor brave
nor patient nor kind
...

Are there any words
that will take your breath away?
I would learn every translation
if I knew what I had to say
...

I met you in the Grand Canyon
you were glowing in the sun
We shared our dreams as we explored the valleys
and I knew then you were the one
...
