Karen Smith

At this late hour and this great distance of
Forty years later I find Karen Smith
In my memory where she lives now with
A few other girls I will always love
And saw again the reason why it was
The way it was was simply just because
The way it was was how it had to be

But I wish Karen Smith was here with me

(And should you insist I should have said were
Then you did not know no did not know her)
