Red Mustang on the Highway | 1 |

Why did we | 3 |
Ever drift apart? | 4 |
I know, I’ll never see | 5 |
A woman more astonishing | 6 |
Than you in a summer dress | 7 |
Standing elegantly on an apartment terrace | 8 |
Sunlight in your hair. | 9 |
Ah, love had me dreaming and believing! | 10 |
| |
So many lovers smile in the night | 11 |
Swaying to music, | 12 |
Once we were there | 13 |
Locked arm in arm. | 14 |
| |
One day, I’ll write the poem | 15 |
That paints perfectly your slender neck | 16 |
And your gentle hands | 17 |
Putting on earrings | 18 |
And then I’ll feel this magic forever. | 19 |
| |
Dear sweet lady, | 20 |
There’s a red mustang on the highway, | 21 |
We should be driving at dusk | 22 |
To some sleepy seaport town | 23 |
Where we could drink whiskey sours | 24 |
On a beach scattered with starlight | 25 |
And translate the language of romance. | 26 |
| |
There is only love, | 27 |
And I know I love you, | 28 |
My drunken heart is boasting | 29 |
As if I were worthy of knowing you! | 30 |
| |
Jazz is playing in this city | 31 |
The neon signs and the streetlights | 32 |
Implore me to find you. | 33 |
Sweet lady, can you hear them? | 34 |
I swear, I’m ecstatically happy | 35 |
Remembering your eyes | 36 |
And whispering your name! | 37 |
