Her Lonely Heart Waits
She longs for an ending to her heartache
Out on the boardwalk she hopefully waits
For day after day and year after year
Pining for her true love to reappear.
She'd come to love her man with all her heart
One day he gave news that he must depart
He sailed away with a vow to return
He never did and to this day she yearns.
With solace celestial bodies appeared
To advise this lady and dry her tears
They told her one day soon her Prince would come
That she'd be loved from the first moment on.
Sharing many hours of ecstatic bliss
Gentle caresses from his fingertips
Transcending her into a trancelike state
From which she would never wish to escape.
She wondered if it would for sure be so
That she could find love with another beau
As she turned to leave she knew she'd struck gold
There stood her Prince Charming, just as foretold.
