Belle

I called you Belle, from that very first night, Long black hair in the soft moonlight. Cheeks so sweet I had to pinch, And that laugh of yours made my heart flinch. You were silly, you were bright, And I knew that I had found my light. Belle, my darling, my heart, my wife, You’ve been my fairytale for all my life. Through castles, battles, heaven and hell, There’s no one like you, my sweet Belle. Thirty years and I still make you roll your eyes, Pulling silly stunts and telling tall-tale lies. I try to be serious, but you know me too well, Laughing at the jokes only I could tell. Through all our journeys, near and far, You’re still the one who’s my shining star. Belle, my darling, my heart, my wife, You’ve been my fairytale for all my life. Through castles, battles, heaven and hell, There’s no one like you, my sweet Belle. Yeah, you catch me staring, you shake your head, “Not so fast,” you say, “or you’ll get me red.” You laugh and roll, I wink and smile, I’ve loved your heart all the while. Belle, my darling, my heart, my wife, You’ve been my fairytale for all my life. Through castles, battles, heaven and hell, There’s no one like you, my sweet Belle. And every day I thank above, For my silly, playful, beautiful Belle I love.
