Songtexte A Poem For My Little Lady - Kenny Rogers

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, I'm gonna let her
And I've tried to be the kind of man she thinks I am

She makes those little kitten sounds and trembles when I love her
She makes me feel so bad and strong in me
She whispers how she cannot 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 up 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
