Kenny Rogers - Poem For My Little Lady lyrics

She's young and soft and kind And she deserves a whole lot better Than a guitar picking drifter Who never gave a damn. And if loving me is all She ever wants some gonna let her And I've tried to be kind of man She thinks I am. She makes those little kitten sounds And (that) trembles when I love her She makes me feel so bad and strong in me She whispers how she can not wait To be my baby's mother She's the only glimpse of God I've ever seen. Her mama sure had warned her Never take out with a poet For poets travel rocky roads In search of truth and life. I'm the only blemish on Her virgin soul but she don't know it And I thank the Lord she's lying gentle By my side tonight. La-la-la-la-la-la-la I thank god she's lying gentle, by my side tonight
