Smile Is this her?

EDISON LIGHTHOUSE lyrics - Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) 1970

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr6H1a7YUac&feature=relatedl


She ain't got no money
Her clothes are kinda funny
Her hair is kinda wild and free
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

She talks kinda lazy
And people say she she's crazy
And her life's a mystery
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine
And I just gotta say
She's really got a magical spell
And it's working so well
That I can't get away

I'm a lucky fella
And I've just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine
And I just gotta say
She's really got a magical spell
And it's working so well
That I can't get away

I'm a lucky fella
And I've just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

[Fadeout:]
It keeps growing every place she's been
And nobody knows like me

If you've met her, you'll never forget her
And nobody knows like me

La la la- believe it when you've seen it
Nobody knows like me

A great woman is not necessarily easy to find.

Marrige can be heaven or hell, and I have had one of each!

Fortunately my present one is the good one.

Oregon gall with a Volvo - look for a blonde gal with a Peugeot, they are more fun.

I noticed that most Volvo buyers and salespeople are women but the Volvo symbol/logo is the ancient symbol for Mars or male. Maybe they should change that to Venus or female.

I think that is why they buy the cars...

The symbol means the car will take care of them and they will always be safe in his embrace (barf sounds)
