She's beautiful in white;
With her hair up, and her evening gown.
She's got that ready smile
That's never thought to frown.
And the way she walks you'd think
She's wearing a princess crown.
She's seen her share of downs
But it's never touched her face.
And if she ever fell to crying
It never left a trace.
I only knew her once,
But she left me with her grace.
And I think of her and smile,
And I think of her and sigh.
But tonight of all those nights
I lay here asking why-
Why Our days we loved so much
Could come, and go on by.
