She has ten fingers
But no more
She smiles at the sky
And wonders what’s in store
She counts her blessings
On ten fingers
On thoughts and prayers
Her heart always lingers
I loved her in my simple way
I tried to love her right
I kissed her in the cool dawn dew
Caressed her with touch and sight
I counted her heart beats day by day
As her pulse would begin to race
I counted every smile and line
That ever crossed her face
When she chose to leave my side
The sadness was too much
My heart began to slow and cry
I missed her lightest touch
You have ten fingers
But no more
Count on those fingers
Who loves you more?
Think a while and say to me
On those fingers count away
Which man’s heart ceases to beat
When his true love you will not meet?
