She

Listen to poem:

She wrapped in ribbons of light Oh, so sweet a smile lit those pistachios in fiery eyes refilling the vessel of a soul counting all strings plucked in excited thrum - a beating heart paradise is never far, no not for me walked in her graceful dawn with blooms that go on and on beguiled by desire's call She Charles Aznavour, Herbert Kretzmer (1974) - She

This is a song that is featured in the movie "Pretty Woman". Yes, I remembered some of the songs he sang and most I guess he did write but I did not know his name. I enjoyed learning this bit of information. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara
