Ah, your skin is smooth like fresh winter snow,
But that is only the first thing I love.
Could it be how your elegant eyes glow?
Or how you are as graceful like a dove?

You can’t have flaws for I see perfection,
How you brighten my day is undefined.
For my love for you burns with a passion,
And this passion I speak of clouds my mind.

I do not believe that I deserve you,
Oh my darling you have perfect white teeth.
The way you smile makes my day feel new,
Do you love me? If so what a relief.

But baby how my love for you still grows
Even if your love for me doesn’t show.
