Poem Artwork

he waltzed into my life one night this tall dark handsome j g
swept me off my feet with just a bat of his baby blue eyes
they call that love at first sight i was too naive i didnt know
waltzing matilda take my heart away

our courtship was a whirlwind affair soon wedding bells rang
life started out with little experience discovering our demons
it was a tumulus affair our demons at war we were confused
waltzing matilda take my heart away

my heart was captured little did i know i felt what i didnt know
i tried to forget go on with my life something was still missing
turmoils i suffered for many years my heart always elsewhere
waltzing matilda take my heart away

then as fickle as only life can be it brought us back together
the minute i walked into the room with him sitting there i knew
this man of my dreams was still there my heart was now whole
waltzing matilda take my heart away

once more we are together as life had meant soulmates always
mature now in our ways our hearts beating as one never to leave
true to each other enthralled with each other deeply in love together
waltzing matilda take my heart away
