Pretty Close to Perfect

Summer days I will remember
Summer nights I can’t forget
Your lips so sweet and tender
And your body…it was pretty close to perfect
Pretty close to perfect
Pretty close to perfect
Mmmm, so close

You took me by my hand
Led me like a little lamb
Showing me the secrets that you knew
And your love… ohhh…was pretty close to perfect.
Pretty close to perfect
Pretty close to perfect
Mmmm, so close.

And even then I knew
There would never be another girl like you
Just because.. you were pretty close to perfect
Pretty close to perfect
Pretty close to perfect
As close as any girl can get

Kisses, wine and love that’s true
Clouds, mountains, me and you
Messing just a little with my little boy mind
The promises in your smile were pretty close to perfect
Pretty close to perfect
Pretty close to perfect
God made you pretty close to perfect

I’m a sappy poems to my wife in her lunchbox guy. This is a sweet song that would have made me sad and nostalgic before I had the opportunity at falling in love with life and my wife all over again after some stagnant years listing at the helm.

Such a great one,
Tim
