I met her in the moonlight
waterfall surprise
we laughed into the morning
intimate sunriseGenie of my wishes
once only in my mind
now hand in hand together
dreams, one of a kindwe planned into tomorrow
to love just for today
and share each precious moment
in every special waydays turned to forever
it’s been almost a year
her tender voice is calling
wanting me to hearshe hopes that soon we’ll marry
share a life of joy
in her hands she’s hinting
with a newborn baby toyher eyes alive with laughter
aglow of hopes and dreams
she asks me “What’s the matter?”
I say “oh nothing, it just seems”then tears began to glisten
out behind my Kool-Ray shades
somehow I’ve got to tell her
I think I may have AIDSa cool breeze now is blowing
tiny wisps of golden hair
across her fading smile
beneath her frozen stare
