Emerald Gown

Hey little lady in that emerald gown
You gotta be the prettiest thing around
With your sparkling eyes and your jet black silken hair

That's an awfully pretty picture you paint
Standing out in the pouring rain
It's not a wonder all the people stop and stare

And when I close my eyes
In a darkened dream
Of all the pretty things that dance in me

You're standing there
In the front of my mind
With your jet black hair
You're the prettiest gem I know I'll ever find

~*~
You're the prettiest gem
Yeah, the prettiest gem
The prettiest gem in the whole wide world
You're the prettiest gem
Yeah, the prettiest gem
And every night I dream you're my girl
~*~

Hey little lady in that emerald gown
I see you're with a man that makes you frown
The sparkle in your eyes no longer there

A spirit like you should always be free
So come along and dance with me
Beneath the rain while the people stop and stare

And when we close our eyes
In a darkened dream
Of all the pretty things that dance with me

I see you standing there
And not just in my mind
With your jet black hair
You're the prettiest gem I know I'll ever find


~*~
You're the prettiest gem
Yeah, the prettiest gem
The prettiest gem in the whole wide world
You're the prettiest gem
Yeah, the prettiest gem
And every night I dream you're my girl
~*~

And when I close my eyes
In a darkened dream
Of all the pretty things that dance in me

I see you standing there
In the front of my mind
I touch your hair
You're the prettiest gem I know I'll ever find

~*~
You're the prettiest gem
Yeah, the prettiest gem
The prettiest gem in the whole wide world
You're the prettiest gem
Yeah, the prettiest gem
And every night I dream you're--

--The prettiest gem
Yeah, the prettiest gem
The prettiest gem in the whole wide world
You're the prettiest gem
Yeah, the prettiest gem
And now I'm not alone; you're my girl
