Stella, Dear Sweet Stella

(album: I'll Keep On Loving You - 1973)

Stella, dear, dear sweet Stella
My memories of you are sweet, my thoughts of you are kind

You're as warm as summertime as colorful as autumn
As gentle as the snowflakes falling on a winter's day
You're as fresh as springtime like a ray of sunshine
Sweeter than the flowers blooming in the month of May

Stella, dear, dear sweet Stella
You're forever present in my mind
Stella, dear, dear sweet Stella
My memories of you are sweet, my thoughts of you are kind

Stella, if I'd've ever hurt you it wasn't because I meant to
For I would never hurt you knowingly
Stella, I have loved you much longer than I can remember
And I will always love you even though you're gone from me

Stella, dear, dear sweet Stella
You're forever present in my mind
Stella, dear, dear sweet Stella
My memories of you are sweet, my thoughts of you are kind
(Stella, Stella) Stella, dear sweet Stella
