Pure and simple, Untouched by life, This is the way you are, And I hope you stay that way. Don't grow up and be bitter, Keep your sweet innocence for as long as you can. This is the way I shall always remember you. In every star I'll see your face, And I'll think back and wish that we were all as pure and simple as you were that night. DLS © 1973

As I look into your eyes I read an unasked question and I know that for the rest of my life I'll think of you at night in a loving way that only we can understand. AS we sat and talked that night a story unwound around us, and even if it's never told we shall remember that story and the people in it. And we can be glad that we found the end of the story, and no one got hurt. For that, I love you. DLS © 1973
