Just “pretty†could not justify
The way you looked last night.
I felt completely speechless when
You first came into sight.
Though “lovely†is more accurate
When I’m describing you,
And “beautiful†is adequate,
They neither one will do.
No single word could quite express
The things I’d like to say,
So I’ll combine them all with these
In hopes that they all may.
