Monica

It was a moonlit night like this
when Monica sealed our love with a kiss
but then this luscious, balmy night of bliss
in this French Caribbean island nation
stretched into a glorious winter vacation
from just an ordinary recreation
and when Monica returned to France
I sadly felt I had missed my chance,
but a while after returning to New York,
I received a letter from Monica,
she's expecting the stork,
and now Monica, baby Fran and I
live in the Village in New York,
grateful for this moonlit night
when Monica came into my sight
turning our lives from left to right.
