"Spoil My Heart" _ new October 2017 poem / song

When you come back
This time next year
I'll be wearing a wedding ring
I'll be married in the spring
Yet you can still
Spoil my heart

If you cook
Like you fell off a turnip truck
Hey I'll still be in luck
The way you look
As long as you still
Spoil my heart

In the fall I'll be warm
When the tugboat blows its horn
Walking arm and arm with you
Hey world we got nothing to prove
Yet you can still
Spoil my heart

Sugar kisses
Upon my head
"I do" it was
That we had said
As long as you still
Spoil my heart

Turn your lamp down low
Throw the hour-glass away
We're snowed-in today
We got no place to go
Yet you can still
Spoil my heart

Sugar kisses
Simple sweet
If it's we
I'll take the devil's heat
As long as you still
Spoil my heart

If you're successful
Being the best you
On the verge of fame
Honey I'll be the same
As long as you still
Spoil my heart

(From the start
I knew it was you
The things you could do

You stole my heart
Only you in my view
There were only a few)

I used to walk aimlessly
Until you waved at me
And now I'm still here
And you're still my dear
As long as you still
Spoil my heart
