I Loved Her

She was Boston, I was Vegas,

She was crepe suzette, I was pie,

She was lectures, I was movies, but I loved her.

She was Mozart, I was Basie,

She was afternoon tea, I was saloon,

She was Junior League, I was Dodgers,

But I loved her morning, night and noon.

Opposites attract, the wise men claim,

Still I wish that we had been a little more the same.

It might have been a shorter war,

If we had know each other more.

She was polo, I was race track,

She was museums, I was TV.

She did her best to change me

Though she never knew quite how,

But I loved her, almost as much as I do now.

[piano interlude]

It might have been a shorter war,

If we had know each other more.

She was Wall Street, I was pawn shop,

She was French champagne, I was beer,

She knew much more that I did

But there was one thing she didn't know,

That I loved her, because I never, never told her so.
