Fairy-tale

Gene Pitney wrote Hello Mary Lou,
in the early sixties recorded by
Johnny Duncan, and Ricky Nelson too.
Listening to the song reminds me why

once upon a time
I fell in love with a Mary Lou.
But alas she didn’t love me too
so I only gained her in rhyme.

Still my life goes on,
sometimes sun, sometimes rain.
So I've got lots to gain,
before my life is done.

What the future will bring?
I'll have to wait for
who’s knocking at my door,
again makes my heart sing.
