When I was dustin' off her desk one day, / And she was standin' there, I took the pad / She writes on when she gets dictates and had / A notion to tear off a leaf and lay / It up against my heart at night, when they / Was something made her come to where I stood / And say, "Poor boy," as softly as she could -- / It almost seemed to take my breath away.
That night I couldn't sleep at all becuz / The thoughts about them words that she had said / Kep' all the time a-goin' through my head / With thoughts about how beautiful she wuz, / And then I knowed she loved me, too, or she / Would not of cared how hard I worked, you see.
