To Be Me (a time of singles dances)
To Be Me (a time of singles dances)
A country girl at heart, I am
I love to dance
And I love to flirt
But I can dig in dirt
and get all messy
till the work is done
and the day is done.
All exhausted, yet exuberant
Ready to go
and willing to try.
Sweatshirt and jeans are comfy
but dressing up is fun too.
To be young at heart
is to be with nature
and look the part.
To be a lady
is to be gentle and kind
and, sometimes, sophisticated
and, even more, to look the part.
Makeup, heels, and jewelry
set off the mood;
a scent of perfume
finishes the touch.
City lights with glamorous music
how good it feels to be alive,
hoping for a fun-filled night.
Yet looking forward
to the beauty of the new day
which brings me back
to nature, country and home.
