Concerto
A memory of
The Portuguese girl with an harmonious smile
Comes while listening to Rodrigo's de Aranjuez
Takes me back
To Paris
And a longing for love
Love lived and lost
In smokey basements and on windy rooftops
Duets along the Seine
And walks alone in the rain
A time of courage and adventure, of hope
And of hurt, and wondering why
Now in age the filtering light provides only glimpses
But the heart knows truth
And with this melody brings forth
A smile to this face
