I'd Like To Be Known As Sassy Miss Sally Poem by Mark Heathcote

I want to soak up the sun and grow
I want to melt away
Happily, like the snow, when I go
Without a tear, I'd like to fly away
When it's my time to go.

I'd like to be known as sassy Miss Sally
Who came a drifting down the gold coast?
I'd like to be known as old Matt Rodgers
Who played some mean heavenly blues?
And has a smile like a sunray on his cheeks.

I want to soak up the sun and grow
I want to fade against the grain
And show,
I could take on any amount of pain.
And still, grow,
Happily, like the snow, when I go
Without a tear, without a tear
Without a tear, I'd like to fly away
When it's my time to go.

I want to melt away
Happily, like the snow, when I go
Without a tear, I'd like to fly away
When it's my time to go.
I want to soak up the sun and grow.

I'd like to go
With a lipstick collar and a Stetson hat on
I'd like to go
With my clothes on
I'd like to go
Without any sad news
I'd like to go
With a new pair of shoes on
So I can kick up trouble
If I find tears; welling up, in your eyes
If I find tears; welling up, in your eyes
If I find tears; welling up, in your eyes.

just think of me as sassy Miss Sally
As old Matt Rodgers
Who played some mean heavenly blues?
And has a smile like a sunray on his cheeks today?
On the gold coast with sassy Miss Sally
On the gold coast with sassy Miss Sally
On the gold coast with sassy Miss Sally.
