How I Long for That Village Girl (A Song in Memory)

In the heart of town, my life's a swirl,

Oh, how I long for that village girl,

This city light, with its empty hug,

My heart now yearns for a simpler tug.

The girl next door, with a smile so bright,

Her humble warmth could've been my light,

This gleaming gem, it just turned to coal,

Her glitter fades, but that girl had soul.

The riches here, they just make me sigh,

For true love's gold, money cannot buy,

In the poor girl's laugh, life's beauty sung,

This wealthy choice, left my heart unstrung.
