Red Mustang On The Highway

Why did we Ever drift apart? I know, I’ll never see A woman more astonishing Than you in a summer dress Standing elegantly on an apartment terrace Sunlight in your hair. Ah, love had me dreaming and believing! So many lovers smile in the night Swaying to music, Once we were there Locked arm in arm. One day, I’ll write the poem That paints perfectly your slender neck And your gentle hands Putting on earrings And then I’ll feel this magic forever. Dear sweet lady, There’s a red mustang on the highway, We should be driving at dusk To some sleepy seaport town Where we could drink whiskey sours On a beach scattered with starlight And translate the language of romance. There is only love, And I know I love you, My drunken heart is boasting As if I were worthy of knowing you! Jazz is playing in this city The neon signs and the streetlights Implore me to find you. Sweet lady, can you hear them? I swear, I’m ecstatically happy Remembering your eyes And whispering your name!
