Lots and lots of times, too. you find a
sweet girl waiting around home and
dreaming dreams of her own true knight

a perfectly lovely suit of evening clothes
and a big touring car-and how he would
take her away from the commonplace
shabby, Squalid things of every day and
they would dwell forever in a world of
wealth and trust and white, white love-

Then she sees some one coming and it
looks, far as she can observe like il
