Whose heart does she make beat faster
\nAs she once did to mine?
\nShe of the smile that won my heart
\nShe was to me divine
\nAnd as all angels do
\nShe flew away from me
\nAnd I the fool the love I had
\nI never let her see
\nBut someone somewhere has a beating heart
\nThat she makes beat faster still
\nAs mine did then when her I knew
\nAnd always will until
\nUpon my deathbed when of age
\nMy mind will wander over life gone past
\nThe smile the smile the lovely smile
\nShall in my memory last…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
