She is a lovely girl turned woman
Beautiful inside and curved outside
Like the hood ornament on a 1953 Buick
She loves to give chocolates and flowers
To perspective lovers and their mothers
She buys cards for orphans and the elderly
Visits the hospitals and nursing homes
Still she sits alone most every night for dinner
In a candlelit room with a sad song playing
On the stereo as she sips her wine
And wonders when she'll find her one true lover
She is kind to a fault with perfect smiles so bright
Yet she spends too much time crying in her sleep
She is a lovely girl turned woman
In search of her perfect man
Now that her Daddy is dead.....
