"Summer Kisses, Winter Tears"

"Summer kisses, winter tears"...
is no girl's dream -
you needn't say you love her -
a thousand times over;
she'll know when she's loved,
through all the tender loving care...

be she seventeen,
or ninety-seven -
she'll want to know that she is missed,
and that too much coffee is bad
for her health, (tho' she already knows -
it's different to know someone cares)...
and that she should just eat a little -
even if she had lost her appetite...
she'll still want to feel she's special,
she'll still need some tender loving care...
whether she is sweet seventeen -
or toothless and wrinkled, at ninety-seven:

she's still a woman -
and every woman needs some tender loving care...
